The Steps at Government House, Pretoria
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph that takes us back to the early twentieth century in South Africa. This stunning print, created by Edith Struben and part of a private collection, showcases the grandeur and beauty of the government house in Pretoria. The image transports us to a time when gardens were meticulously designed and maintained. The vibrant colours of the flowers bring life to the scene, with an array of wildflowers adorning the flowerbeds. It's as if we can almost smell their fresh fragrance. The steps leading up to Government House exude elegance and power. They symbolize authority and provide a grand entrance for those who visit this important seat of governance. The meticulous attention to detail in this illustration captures not only the architectural beauty but also highlights nature's contribution through its botanical wonders. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for "Gardens of South Africa" by Dorothea Fairbridge, showcasing Elizabeth Drake's exquisite colour illustrations alongside Struben's work. Together they bring these enchanting gardens to life on paper. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of how gardens have always been places where people find solace and inspiration amidst their busy lives. Whether it be a small backyard garden or vast formal gardens like those depicted here, they offer respite from daily routines while nurturing our connection with nature. "The Steps at Government House, Pretoria" serves as both a visual delight and historical documentation—a testament to the rich botanical heritage found within South Africa's landscapes.
