Description
English: Original caption reads: "View of Adderley Street, Cape Town from Longmarket Street. This thoroughfare, which one might term "the leading street of South Africa", is thronged during the greater part of the day by a busy crowd of shoppers and pedestrians. The shops are for the most part situated on the north side of the street , and are decked with all the latest novelties from Europe. Electric trams start from the centre of Adderley Street for all parts of the town and suburbs, and are considered the finest and most complete "South of the line"."

A South African work that is in the public domain in South Africa according to this rule is in the public domain in the U.S. only if it was in the public domain in South Africa in 1996, e.g. if it was published before 1946 and no copyright was registered in the U.S. (This is the effect of 17 USC 104A with its critical date of January 1, 1996.)
