EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1908, showcases the picturesque Keerweder Cottages in the heart of Franschhoek, Cape Colony, South Africa. Franschhoek, meaning "French Corner" in Dutch, was originally settled by French Huguenot refugees in 1688, who fled religious persecution in Europe. The town's rich history is evident in the whitewashed cottages and buildings that line the hills and valleys. The photograph presents a serene scene of the South African countryside. The cottages, with their thatched roofs and tree-lined surroundings, exude a sense of tranquility and charm. The trees, with their lush green leaves, provide a striking contrast to the whitewashed buildings, creating a harmonious blend of nature and architecture. The hills and mountains in the background add to the breathtaking beauty of the landscape. The cottages, nestled among the rocks and boulders, were likely used for farming and agriculture, reflecting the area's strong agricultural heritage. The town of Franschhoek became renowned for its wine production, and the vineyards that still surround the area today are a testament to the town's enduring connection to its past. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life was simpler, and the beauty of nature was cherished. The image invites us to imagine the daily lives of the people who once called these cottages home, and to appreciate the timeless charm of this historic town in the Cape Colony of South Africa.
