EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Cape Town in 1895. Adderley Street, the main thoroughfare in the city's business district, is beautifully captured with its architectural gems standing tall against a monochrome backdrop. The Commercial Exchange and Standard Bank buildings dominate the scene, exuding an air of grandeur and financial prowess. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a thriving cityscape that was at once modern and steeped in history. The well-preserved buildings along this avenue tell stories of commerce, finance, and progress during the late 19th century. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the sounds of horse-drawn carriages clattering on cobblestone roads. The photographer skillfully captures both the intricate details of each building's facade as well as the overall landscape of Adderley Street. This print comes from "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs" published by George Newnes Ltd in London - a testament to how far-reaching these images were even then. As we admire this piece from Heritage Images' collection, it serves as a reminder that cities are ever-evolving entities shaped by their architecture and inhabitants throughout history. It invites us to appreciate Cape Town's rich heritage while also pondering how much has changed since those days over a century ago.
