EDITORS COMMENTS
Bloemfontein, the capital city of the Orange Free State in South Africa, is depicted in this photograph from the 1910s. The image showcases the bustling activity of Maitland Street, with the iconic Market Hall standing proudly at its heart. The Market Hall, a symbol of the city's rich history, was a significant commercial hub where farmers from the surrounding areas would bring their produce to sell. Adjacent to the Market Hall, Maitland Street is lined with various shops and businesses, including a bank, grocers, hepworths mens outfitters, stationers, and a fruit stall. The presence of these establishments underscores the vibrant commercial life of Bloemfontein during this era. On the left side of the photograph, the imposing Fichardt Building can be seen, which housed the offices of the Bloemfontein Gazette, the city's leading newspaper. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the city, with people going about their business, wagons being loaded with goods, and the occasional horse-drawn carriage passing by. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, captures the essence of Bloemfontein as a thriving commercial center in the Orange Free State of South Africa. It serves as an invaluable record of the city's rich history and the role it played in the region's economic development.
