Alcohol Bottles Durban Frieze Jugs Majestic Mugs Natal Natives Shelf Shelves Vacation
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era at the Hotel Majestic in Durban, Natal Province, South Africa. Circa 1940, the scene inside the Ye Mug & Jug Inn, a popular watering hole located within the hotel, exudes an air of relaxation and leisure. The interior is adorned with wooden shelves filled with an array of jugs and mugs, ready to be filled with refreshing drinks. Bottles of alcohol line the shelves, adding to the inviting atmosphere. The frieze above the bar, depicting native scenes, is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the region. The Hotel Majestic, with its Art Deco design, was a popular destination for travelers seeking a vacation in the sunny coastal city of Durban. The 1940s were a time of relative peace and prosperity in South Africa, and the Hotel Majestic offered a respite from the daily grind. The photograph transports us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of a cool drink and good company were enough to make for a memorable holiday experience. The Hotel Majestic, with its warm and welcoming atmosphere, was the perfect place to unwind and soak up the unique charm of Durban and the Natal Province.
