EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Dick King Memorial in Durban, South Africa. Taken by an anonymous 19th-century South African photographer, this image is part of a private collection that captures the historical essence of the city. The Dick King Memorial stands tall against the backdrop of Durban's skyline, serving as a powerful reminder of one man's heroic journey. Erected in honor of Dick King, a local hero who made an extraordinary horseback ride from Durban to Grahamstown during the British colonial era, this memorial symbolizes resilience and determination. The monochromatic tones add depth and nostalgia to the photograph, transporting viewers back in time to witness this significant moment in history. The intricate details captured by the skilled photographer highlight both architectural beauty and historical significance. This print was featured as an illustration for "A Souvenir of Durban" a publication dating back to around 1920. It serves as a visual memento for those interested in exploring Durban's rich past. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded not only of Dick King's bravery but also of how photography can preserve moments that would otherwise fade into oblivion. This piece invites us to reflect on our shared heritage and appreciate the enduring landmarks that shape our cities today.
