EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Railway Station, Elandsfontein" takes us back to the late 19th century in South Africa. The image, captured by an anonymous South African photographer of that era, showcases a bustling railway station in the town of Elandsfontein. The scene depicted is brimming with life and activity. Passengers can be seen boarding and disembarking from the trains, while others wait patiently on the platform. The architecture of the station itself exudes a sense of grandeur and importance, reflecting the significance of railways during this time period. This photograph was originally featured as an illustration in "Scenes and Life in the Transvaal" a book published by The Art Photo-Publishing Company around 1890. Its gravure printing technique adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its historical charm. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are transported to an era where rail travel played a vital role in connecting communities across vast distances. It serves as a testament to both technological progress and human ingenuity. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this snapshot allows us to glimpse into African life during this transformative period. It reminds us of our shared past and invites contemplation about how far we have come since then.
