EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Church Street, Pretoria - The Approach to the Town, 1901" takes us back in time to the period of the Boer Wars in South Africa. Captured by Donald E M Cracken, this image showcases the town of Pretoria during a significant moment in history when it surrendered to British forces under Frederick Roberts on June 5th, 1900. The photograph is sourced from J. Maclaren Cobban's book "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts" specifically Volume IV titled "To Lord Robertss Reign in Pall Mall". Published by T. C. & E. C. Jack in Edinburgh in 1901, this image offers a glimpse into the landscape and atmosphere of Church Street at that time. As we observe this historical snapshot, we can appreciate the vibrant colors and details that bring life to an era long gone. The avenue leading towards Pretoria is lined with plants and trees, creating a picturesque scene against which one can imagine horse-drawn carriages passing through. This print not only serves as a visual reminder of an important event but also provides insight into daily life during this tumultuous period. It allows us to reflect on how far society has come since then while appreciating our shared heritage and history.
