EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of Johannesburg in South Africa during the late 19th century. The image, captured by an English photographer, showcases the rich history and charm of this African metropolis. The streets are filled with life as people go about their daily activities against a backdrop of old buildings and horse-drawn carriages. This snapshot from the past offers a glimpse into what life was like in Johannesburg during this era. The photograph is part of a private collection, adding to its rarity and significance. It was originally featured in an album titled "Album of Photographic Views of South Africa" by G W Wilson around 1900. Its inclusion in this compilation speaks to its importance as a visual record of South African history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we can't help but feel transported to another time – a time when Johannesburg was still emerging as a major economic hub and cultural center. The image evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times while also reminding us how far the city has come since then. Whether you're interested in history or simply appreciate fine art photography, this print serves as both an educational tool and a beautiful addition to any collection. It allows us to reflect on the past while appreciating the present-day vibrancy that defines modern-day Johannesburg.
