EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the lives of ethnic women in South Africa during the late 19th century Victorian period. The image, preserved on a vintage lantern slide from the Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, offers a rare and intimate look at the traditions and culture of these women from an era long gone.
The women in the photograph are dressed in traditional attire that reflects their heritage and identity within their Boer nation tribe. Their intricate garments and accessories speak to a rich history of craftsmanship and artistry passed down through generations.
As they pose for the camera, there is a sense of pride and strength emanating from these women, who have undoubtedly faced challenges and triumphs unique to their time and place in history. Their stoic expressions hint at resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the diverse tapestry of cultures that make up South Africa's vibrant past. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving our collective heritage for future generations to learn from and appreciate.
