The photograph reveals a well-paved street, with the imposing building of the Standard Bank of South Africa standing proudly on the right side. The classical neoclassical architecture is evident in the building's design, featuring a portico with Corinthian columns, balustrades, pilasters, and dentils. The intricate details of the building's facade reflect the wealth and influence of the banking institution during that period. The scene is filled with a sense of activity, as African men and women in traditional attire can be seen going about their daily business on the sidewalk. The presence of European men in suits and hats further emphasizes the multicultural nature of the city. The image also reveals a horse-drawn carriage passing by, adding to the sense of movement and commerce in the area.
