EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning interior of St Georges Cathedral in Grahamstown, South Africa. The image, captured by an English photographer in the 19th century, is now part of a private collection. The photograph highlights the remarkable craftsmanship and grandeur of this historic cathedral. Its roof, considered one of the finest ever constructed, was meticulously laid with teak timbers. The foundation exudes a sense of justice as it leads towards the chancel. Every inch of this magnificent structure is adorned with intricate details that speak to its rich history. From the wide roofs inspired by East Indian architecture to the majestic spire made from cedar wood, every element tells a story. Interestingly, this cathedral has faced its fair share of challenges over time. It survived a shipwreck when Duke of Edinburgh's steamer ran aground on South African shores near Grahamstown. Despite being boarded up during that incident and losing some parts to nature's wrath along the coastline, St Georges Cathedral stands tall as a symbol of resilience. This illustration originally appeared in Picturesque South Africa (Dennis Edwards) around 1895 and offers us a glimpse into what this architectural marvel looked like at that time. Through this photograph, we are transported back to 19th-century Grahamstown and reminded not only of its beauty but also its significance within South African history.
