Pretoria - Market Street looking South, c1912: A Glimpse into the Past". This print takes us back to the early 20th century in Pretoria, South Africa. The image showcases Market Street, a bustling avenue that stretches out before us as far as the eye can see. With its horse-drawn vehicles dominating the scene, this snapshot captures a time when road transport relied on the strength and grace of these magnificent creatures. As we delve deeper into the details of this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded that Pretoria held great significance during this era. In 1910, it became not only a city but also assumed its role as the administrative capital for all of South Africa. The buildings lining both sides of Market Street stand tall and proud, reflecting an air of prosperity and progress. The unknown creator behind this photograph has skillfully framed a moment frozen in time – one where people went about their daily lives amidst a rapidly changing world. This postcard-like view invites us to imagine what it was like to stroll along this historic street over a century ago. Preserved by The Print Collector and shared with us by Heritage Images, this remarkable piece serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and how much our cities have evolved since then. Let's cherish these glimpses into history that allow us to appreciate how far we've come while honoring those who came before us.
