EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Gardner Street in Durban, South Africa, circa 1900. The image transports us to the 1880s, 1890s, and early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this vibrant city. The photograph showcases a bustling urban scene, with traditional African dwellings interspersed among European-style buildings. The architecture is a fascinating blend of the old and the new, reflecting the diverse influences that shaped Durban during this era. The grandeur of the European structures, with their ornate details and red-tiled roofs, stands in stark contrast to the simplicity of the African huts, made from thatch and mud. The streets are filled with people, some dressed in Western attire, while others wear traditional African garments. The photograph also reveals the natural beauty of the area, with lush vegetation and palm trees lining the streets. The blue sky and sunshine add to the idyllic scene, making it a true representation of the unique character of Durban during this time. Gardner Street was a significant landmark in Durban, serving as a hub of activity and commerce. The street was home to various shops, markets, and businesses, attracting people from all walks of life. The photograph captures the spirit of a bygone era, inviting us to explore the history and culture of this fascinating city. This image is an invaluable historical record, providing us with a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations. The photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people of Durban and their ability to create a unique and diverse urban landscape.
