EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Oxford Street in East London during the 19th century. Taken by an English photographer, this image is part of a private collection and showcases the beauty and grandeur of old buildings that once adorned this bustling street. The photograph was originally used as an illustration for Picturesque South Africa, a book published around 1895 by Dennis Edwards. It depicts Oxford Street as a thriving center of trade and commerce in British Kaffraria, South Africa. The enormous strides made in infrastructure development are evident through the landing supply close to railways and river connections. With its handsome facilities, scenic views, and miles of waterways, Oxford Street became an important thoroughfare for both local residents and visitors alike. Its strategic location on the east coast created a vital connection between Cape Town and other northern regions. As the population increased in East London, so did the significance of this South African port city. The good climate combined with improved public transportation systems made it an attractive destination for people seeking opportunities or simply enjoying leisurely walks along its picturesque streets. This print from Bridgeman Images not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how much history can be contained within one single frame.
