EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of Smith Street in Durban, Natal Province, South Africa circa 1905. The bustling city street is filled with pedestrians going about their daily business, horse-drawn carriages making their way through the traffic, and rickshaws waiting for passengers. The architecture of the buildings lining the long straight road is a mix of red and white brick structures that give a glimpse into the past.
This snapshot from the early 1900s captures a moment in history when Durban was still developing as a city in Natal Province. The energy and movement on Smith Street are palpable, as people hurry along the sidewalks and vehicles navigate through the busy thoroughfare.
The image transports you to a bygone era when life moved at a slower pace but was no less vibrant or exciting. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed over the years while also highlighting the enduring charm of this South African city.
Whether you have personal ties to Durban or simply appreciate historical photography, this print is sure to spark curiosity and nostalgia for days gone by. Display it proudly in your home or office to add a touch of old-world elegance to your decor.
