EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Kimberley, as seen from the Rock Shaft, 1900" offers a glimpse into the rich history of South Africa in the early 20th century. Taken by renowned photographer George Washington Wilson, this image is part of Louis Creswicke's book "South Africa and the Transvaal War, Vol. I", which provides a comprehensive account of that period. The photograph showcases Kimberley, a town located in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. The landscape depicted here is both awe-inspiring and serene, with vast open spaces stretching as far as the eye can see. The British Empire's influence on this region is evident through its architecture and infrastructure. Notably, this image captures an important historical figure named Sir George Pomeroy Colley who played a significant role during that time. His presence adds depth to this visual narrative and highlights his contribution to shaping South Africa's history. George Washington Wilson's masterful use of photography brings out intricate details while evoking a sense of nostalgia for viewers today. This print serves as an invaluable piece of artistry that not only documents an era but also allows us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of South African landscapes.
