EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image transports us back in time to the bustling Africa Durban Fruit Market pre-1900. Located in the coastal city of Durban, South Africa, this market was a vibrant hub of activity long before the turn of the twentieth century. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Africa during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The market scene is illuminated by the warm glow of lanterns, casting an intriguing contrast against the darkened background. The air is filled with the tantalizing aroma of exotic fruits, as vendors call out to potential customers, showcasing their wares with pride. The marketgoers, dressed in traditional African attire, move about the market with purpose, their faces a mix of curiosity, excitement, and determination. The British colonial influence is evident in the market's architecture, with European-style buildings and structures standing alongside traditional African huts. The presence of the British Empire in Africa during this period is a poignant reminder of the complex history of colonialism and its impact on the continent. Despite the challenges and changes that have come since this photograph was taken, the Africa Durban Fruit Market pre-1900 remains a cherished piece of history. It offers a unique window into the past, inviting us to reflect on the rich tapestry of cultures and traditions that have shaped the African continent. This image is a testament to the power of photography to transport us across time and space, and to remind us of the beauty and complexity of our shared human history.
