EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Pretoria. Pretorius Street; Afrique Australe, 1914,' transports us back in time to the vibrant and bustling streets of Pretoria, South Africa, during the early 20th century. The image, published in the renowned French geography magazine 'Grande Geographie Bong Illustree,' showcases the architectural charm and diversity of this historic city. Pretorius Street, named after the city's founder, Marthinus Pretorius, is depicted as a lively thoroughfare filled with a mix of European and African influences. The photograph captures the unique blend of cultures that characterized Pretoria during this era. On the left side of the street, we can see the imposing presence of the Dutch Reformed Church, its tall spire reaching towards the sky. Across the street, a group of African men and women are gathered, engaged in conversation or going about their daily tasks. The buildings on both sides of the street display a mix of architectural styles, reflecting the diverse influences that shaped Pretoria's urban landscape. The use of whitewashed walls, red-tiled roofs, and wrought-iron balconies is evident in the European-style structures. In contrast, the African huts, with their thatched roofs and earthy colors, add a distinct African touch to the scene. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of Pretoria's residents during this period. Horse-drawn carriages and bicycles line the street, while people go about their business, adding to the hustle and bustle of the city. The image is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Pretoria and South Africa as a whole.
