EDITORS COMMENTS
This litho print captures the devastating aftermath of a fire that completely destroyed The Town Hall in Pietermaritzburg. Taken by Henry William Brewer, this image showcases the extent of the destruction caused by the recent blaze. The once majestic building, known for its striking architecture and commanding presence, now lies in ruins. The residents of Pietermaritzburg are left to mourn the loss of their beloved municipal landmark, which held great significance within their community. In this somber scene, we see remnants of what was once a bustling hub filled with festivities and rejoicings. The clock tower stands as a poignant reminder of better days while surrounded by charred debris and fallen stones. As we gaze upon this print, our hearts ache for those affected by this tragic event. We can only imagine the tenderness and affection Capetonians had for their cherished Town Hall before it succumbed to flames. This litho serves as both an historical record and a testament to resilience in the face of adversity. It reminds us that even amidst destruction, there is hope for rebuilding and renewal. Let us reflect on the power of community spirit as we admire this hauntingly beautiful image captured during one fateful week in 1898 when Pietermaritzburg's heart was forever changed.
