EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "West Street, Durban" takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th century South Africa. The image, captured by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown, showcases the bustling thoroughfare in all its nocturnal glory. As night falls upon West Street, the scene comes alive with a mesmerizing blend of electric lights and flickering lanterns. Roman Catholic churches stand tall amidst a sea of splendid and handsome buildings that line this picturesque street. Rickshaws drawn by attired drivers fly past illuminated public baths and trade premises, adding to the lively atmosphere. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of notable landmarks such as the Town Hall and Volunteer Drill Hall. The town's inhabitants traverse this busy road on foot while Zulus from Berea add their unique presence to this melting pot of cultures. The photograph perfectly captures both the commercial aspect and architectural beauty of Durban at that time. It serves as an illustration for Dennis Edwards' book "Picturesque South Africa" transporting viewers into a world long gone but forever preserved through photography. Now part of a private collection but out of copyright restrictions, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind early photography but also provides valuable insight into life in 19th century Durban - a city teeming with energy, diversity, and endless possibilities.
