EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of King Williams Town takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the essence of this South African town in all its beauty. The image showcases the vicinity, headquarters, and bank buildings that were an integral part of British Kaffraria during that time. Surrounded by breathtaking natural landscapes such as the Amatola Mountains and Buffalo River, King Williams Town was a bustling center of trade and commerce. Its population thrived on the thriving native trade ground where various companies operated. The photograph also highlights the presence of important institutions like Cape Police and Imperial Infantry who garrisoned this large town. With its old-world charm and lovely drives along Kei River, King Williams Town became a capital for both commercial activities and administrative functions. The bank building depicted in this picture stands tall as a symbol of financial stability amidst all these developments. It represents not only economic prosperity but also serves as a reminder of how banking played a crucial role in shaping South Africa's history. Through this photograph, we are transported to an era when King Williams Town was considered one of the most beautiful places in South Africa. The photographer has skillfully captured its architectural beauty while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
