EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling Market Square in Johannesburg, South Africa. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this historic image captures a moment frozen in time. The scene is filled with activity as people go about their daily routines, creating a vibrant atmosphere that is palpable even through the monochromatic lens. The market stalls are brimming with goods, showcasing the rich diversity of African culture and heritage. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the immense historical significance of Johannesburg's Market Square. It was here that traders from all walks of life converged, exchanging goods and stories against the backdrop of an ever-evolving cityscape. The photograph's timeless quality allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its value as a historical artifact. It serves as a window into an era long gone yet still resonates with echoes of South Africa's past. This remarkable piece belongs to a private collection and was featured in G. W Wilson's "Album of Photographic Views of South Africa" around 1900. Its inclusion in this album speaks volumes about its cultural importance and enduring legacy. Through this photograph, we can glimpse into the soulful heart of Johannesburg's Market Square during the late 19th or early 20th century – a testament to both human resilience and our shared history.
