EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Avenue of Blue Gum Trees, Pretoria" takes us back to the late 19th century in South Africa. The image, captured by an anonymous South African photographer, showcases a picturesque scene along Church Street in Pretoria. The avenue is lined with towering blue gum trees, their branches reaching towards the sky as if embracing the heavens above. The monochromatic palette adds a timeless quality to the photograph, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the historical ambiance of this moment. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to a time when life moved at a slower pace. The hustle and bustle of modernity seem distant as we envision people strolling down this tree-lined street, perhaps engaged in conversation or lost in their own thoughts. This photograph was originally published as an illustration for "Scenes and Life in the Transvaal" offering viewers a glimpse into everyday life during that era. It serves as both a visual record and an artistic interpretation of South African history. Now preserved within a private collection, this remarkable gravure print continues to captivate audiences with its beauty and evocative power. Through its lens, we can almost hear whispers from the past echoing through those majestic blue gum trees - tales waiting to be discovered by those who dare to listen closely.
