EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of Robinson Bank, a historic institution in Johannesburg. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The image showcases the leading corner block where this handsome South African bank was founded. Located in Market Square on Simmonds Street, Robinson Bank played a significant role in the development of Johannesburg and the thriving Rand region. Mr. J. B. Robinson, after whom the bank was named, was one of the pioneering figures who contributed to its establishment. The photograph beautifully portrays the architectural splendor of Robinson Bank against the backdrop of bustling city life. It offers a glimpse into South Africa's rich history and serves as a testament to its financial growth during that era. Originally featured as an illustration for "Picturesque South Africa" by Dennis Edwards around 1895, this image has since become an iconic representation of Johannesburg's past. With its attention to detail and masterful composition, this photograph exemplifies early photography techniques while capturing both historical significance and artistic beauty. A true treasure from Bridgeman Images' collection, it provides viewers with a window into Johannesburg's vibrant past without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
