EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s in the heart of the Orange River Colony, South Africa, at the elegant Royal Hotel in Harrismith. This photograph, taken in 1908, showcases the grandeur and sophistication of the dining room, where guests were treated to exquisite meals and impeccable service. The room is adorned with large, ornate sashes hanging from the ceiling, adding a touch of opulence to the space. Waiting staff, dressed in formal attire, stand at the ready to cater to the needs of the diners. The waiters, with their crisp white shirts, black bow ties, and polished shoes, exude an air of professionalism and competence. The diners, seated at tables adorned with crisp white tablecloths and gleaming silverware, appear to be enjoying their meal in the comfortable and luxurious surroundings. The Royal Hotel was a popular destination for travelers and businessmen passing through Harrismith during the Orange River Colony era. The town, located in the Free State province, was an important stopover on the route between the ports of Durban and Kimberley. The hotel's reputation for excellent catering and accommodations made it a must-visit for those seeking a respite from the rigors of the journey. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of South Africa's hospitality industry and the luxurious experiences that were once available to travelers in the early 20th century.
