EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Port Alfred" takes us back to 19th century South Africa. The image, captured by an English photographer, showcases the picturesque town nestled between hills and a river. The abandoned harbour stands as a testament to the once-thriving maritime activities that took place in this small port. The slopes of the surrounding hills are covered in lush vegetation, forming a beautiful backdrop for this scenic location. The mouth of the Kowie River can be seen on one side, adding to the charm of Port Alfred's setting. Despite its modest size, this little town earned its soubriquet as it served as an important hub for trade and commerce. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era when thousands of pounds were earned through operations at this government-run port. Small vessels richly adorned with goods would dock here before continuing their journey along the coast. With its hilly terrain and grassy banks, Port Alfred offers a serene beauty that is practically untouched by modern development. This print serves as a reminder of how nature and human activity coexisted harmoniously in this idyllic corner of South Africa.
