Johannesburg from the North, 1900 - A Glimpse into a Changing Landscape
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken by George Washington Wilson in 1900, offers us a rare glimpse of Johannesburg from the north. The image is part of Louis Creswicke's book "South Africa and the Transvaal War, Vol. I" which provides valuable insights into this tumultuous period. The photograph showcases an evolving cityscape against the backdrop of South Africa's beautiful countryside. As we peer into this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the birth of modern Johannesburg amidst its early days as a bustling metropolis. The landscape stretches out before us with vast plains and rolling hills that hint at both opportunity and challenge. Intriguingly, this image also serves as a historical marker for British imperialism during the late 19th century. Sir George Pomeroy Colley, whose presence looms over these lands due to his involvement in the Transvaal War, was captured here by Wilson's lens. As we delve deeper into this remarkable piece of artistry by George Washington Wilson – renowned for his mastery in capturing landscapes – we are transported to an era when South Africa was on the cusp of change. This print not only preserves history but also invites contemplation about how far Johannesburg has come since then. With its timeless appeal and rich historical significance, this print stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with capturing moments that shape nations and define
