EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling Market Square in Johannesburg during the 19th century. The image, taken by an English photographer, showcases the heart of this South African city in a peaceful and orderly manner. The market stalls extend as far as the eye can see, with carts and wagons lining Pritchard Street. The structures are superbly arranged, creating a spacious square that is both bewildering and impressive. It is evident that this was once the largest market in town, with its handsome buildings and grand parade of barrows. In the foreground, we see demonstrators coupling their protest to a wagon hitched outside one of Henwoods Buildings. This demonstration adds a sense of historical significance to an otherwise tranquil scene. The photograph admirably captures not only the physical layout but also the atmosphere of Market Square. It transports us back to an early morning in Johannesburg when movables were being laid out for sale and people gathered to buy goods from an assortment of stalls. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into South Africa's past, showcasing how Market Square served as both a commercial center and a gathering place for demonstrations. With its rich history and stunning architecture, it is no wonder why this photo has become such an iconic representation of Johannesburg's vibrant past.
