EDITORS COMMENTS
Market Square, Standerton, Transvaal, South Africa (circa 1905) - This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Market Square in the town of Standerton, Transvaal, South Africa, during the early 1900s. The square, surrounded by a mix of buildings, is a hive of activity, with people going about their daily business. In the foreground, oxen and carts laden with agricultural produce, such as sacks of maize and baskets of fruits and vegetables, are being unloaded from the wagons. Farmers and traders exchange greetings and negotiate prices, while in the background, the towering masonic and imperial hotels stand proudly, offering respite and hospitality to weary travelers. The waterworks building, with its large water tank, is also visible, a testament to the importance of water in the agricultural community. The mineral rich lands of Transvaal made it an essential hub for farming and trade during this period. The Market Square was the heart of Standerton, a place where the community came together to buy and sell, exchange news and gossip, and strengthen the bonds of their rural way of life.
