EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the charm of High Street in Grahamstown, South Africa, as seen from the Railway Station. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The picture showcases the picturesque beauty of this South African city with its wide streets lined with trees and beautiful buildings. Approaching from afar, one can observe how the houses are laid out on both sides of the street, producing a pleasing effect. The summit of a hill skirts along the city's landscape while a spire rises above it all. The railway station stands prominently, adding to the public appearance of this prepossessing panorama. The gardens and numerous trees add to the overall beauty observed in this photograph. It is fascinating to see how even back then, Grahamstown had an exceedingly wide range of natural beauty that blended harmoniously with its built environment. This illustration was featured in "Picturesque South Africa" by Dennis Edwards around 1895. It provides us with a glimpse into what life looked like during that time period in Grahamstown. With its old buildings and charming streetscapes, High Street remains an enduring symbol of Grahamstown's history and architectural heritage. This print serves as a testament to not only English photography but also highlights Germany's influence through Bridgeman Images' involvement in preserving such cultural artifacts for future generations to appreciate.
