EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the captivating interior of the Railway Station in Johannesburg during the 19th century. The image, taken by an English photographer, showcases a bustling scene within this historical transportation hub. The platforms are filled with people from all walks of life, as they wait for their trains to arrive or bid farewell to loved ones. The Transvaal government can be seen addressing the grievances of its citizens, ensuring that their needs are met in terms of railway lines and suitable accommodation. The station itself is a remarkable sight with its heavy iron roofed structure and large glass windows that allow natural light to flood in. However, it also leaves parts of the interior exposed to the elements, which some accuse as not providing adequate protection against South African high winds. Amidst all this activity, one cannot help but notice the grandeur of this building reminiscent of Netherlands railways architecture. It stands tall as a symbol of progress and modernity amidst a rapidly developing city like Johannesburg. This photograph serves as both a testament to South Africa's rich history and an invitation for viewers to step back in time and imagine themselves amidst the hustle and bustle at Park Station. It is truly a captivating glimpse into an era long gone but forever preserved through photography.
