EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Huguenot Seminary in Wellington, South Africa. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the grandeur of this educational institution. The seminary was a Christian college for daughters and teachers, providing them with a comprehensive education. The photo highlights the impressive architecture of the building, which served as a memorial to missionaries who settled in South Africa. It also symbolizes the progress made in women's education during that time period. The Huguenot Seminary offered various courses and training programs, including a normal department for future educators. Students had access to specialized studies such as those focused on Lake Nyassa or even the gold fields of Johannesburg. With branches across South Africa, including Natal and Transvaal, this institution played a crucial role in shaping young minds. From kindergarten classes to advanced degrees like B.
