EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tranquil scene of the Vryburg Hotel, located on Market Street in Vryburg, Basutoland (now Lesotho), South Africa, during the 1910s. Vryburg served as the capital of Stellaland, a short-lived Boer republic that existed between 1885 and 1895, before being annexed by the British. The Vryburg Hotel, with its grandiose design and red-roofed buildings, stands proudly amidst the lush vegetation, including tall trees that provide a cooling shade. The trellis fence and trees lining the street add to the colonial charm of the scene. The British Empire's influence is evident in the architecture of the hotel, which reflects the European design sensibilities of the time. The peaceful atmosphere of the photograph belies the complex history of the region. The area was a contested territory between various European powers and local African kingdoms, and the establishment of the British colony brought about significant social and political changes. Despite this, the photograph presents a snapshot of a moment in time, where the daily routines of the community come together in the bustling market street. The Vryburg Hotel, with its inviting facade and welcoming atmosphere, would have been a popular destination for travelers and visitors passing through the region during the early 20th century. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when colonialism shaped the landscape of Southern Africa.
