EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured circa 1905, offers a glimpse into the past of Parktown, a historic suburb in Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa. The image focuses on Sunny Side Mansion, a striking red-brick residence that once served as the residence of Lord Alfred Milner, a prominent British colonial administrator. Milner played a significant role in the British annexation of the Transvaal Republic during the Second Boer War in the late 1800s. The mansion, located on York Road, is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the colonial era. Its imposing facade, adorned with intricate architectural details, stands out against the lush, green garden that surrounds it. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, adding an air of tranquility and serenity. The photograph also reveals a glimpse of the people of the time, as a few figures can be seen in the foreground, likely going about their daily routines. The presence of the horse-drawn carriage in the background further emphasizes the era's charm and elegance. Sunny Side Mansion is a significant historical landmark in Parktown and a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Johannesburg during the early 1900s. Today, the mansion stands as a museum, offering visitors a chance to explore the past and learn about the lives of the colonial administrators and the people of Johannesburg during this period.
