EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pretoria, Birds Eye View from Dspoort Hill" takes us back to the late 19th century in South Africa. The image, captured by an anonymous South African photographer, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the historical city of Pretoria. Taken from Dspoort Hill, this birds-eye view showcases the bustling life and vibrant scenes of nineteenth-century Pretoria. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration in the book "Scenes and Life in the Transvaal" published by The Art Photo-Publishing Company around 1890. The gravure printing technique used for this image adds depth and texture to every detail, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the rich history it portrays. From rooftops to streets filled with people going about their daily lives, this photograph captures a moment frozen in time. As we explore this remarkable snapshot of African history, it becomes evident that Pretoria's Daaspoort Hill played a significant role as both a vantage point for photographers and an integral part of everyday life during that era. With its intricate composition and impeccable clarity, this photograph serves as a testament to the power of photography in preserving our past. Bridgeman Images has made it possible for us to appreciate this extraordinary piece through Fine Art Finder without commercial use intentions but rather with admiration for its historical value.
