EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling wharves of Buffalo River in East London, South Africa. Captured by an English photographer in the 19th century, this historic image is now part of a private collection. The scene depicts a vibrant waterfront filled with activity and trade. The towering ships docked at the wharves are a testament to the importance of maritime commerce during that era. The river itself, flowing calmly alongside the bustling port, adds a touch of serenity to the otherwise busy atmosphere. This photograph was originally featured as an illustration for an album showcasing photographic views of South Africa around 1900. It provides us with a valuable glimpse into what life was like during that period - a time when South Africa was undergoing significant changes and development. As we gaze upon this old photograph, we can't help but be transported back in time. We imagine hearing the sounds of seagulls overhead, smelling the salty air mixed with exotic spices from distant lands, and witnessing firsthand how international trade shaped this coastal city's identity. It serves as a reminder not only of South Africa's rich history but also its connection to global trade networks. This print truly captures both the beauty and significance of East London's wharves on Buffalo River over a century ago.
