EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "What Coaching sometimes involves, a Fight for Life" captures a powerful scene from 19th century South Africa. Taken by an anonymous South African photographer, this image is part of a private collection and showcases the harsh realities of life during that time. Intriguingly, the photograph was originally published as an illustration in the book "Scenes and Life in the Transvaal" released by The Art Photo-Publishing Company in Johannesburg around 1890. This gravure printed image depicts a gripping moment where coaching - possibly referring to horse-drawn carriages or stagecoaches - becomes a fight for survival. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in its portrayal of everyday life but also in its representation of African history. It offers us a glimpse into the challenges faced by individuals living in late 19th century South Africa. With its captivating composition and striking monochromatic tones, this photograph serves as a testament to the power of photography as both art form and historical documentation. As we observe this scene unfold before our eyes, we are reminded of the resilience and determination required to navigate life's hardships. "What Coaching sometimes involves, a Fight for Life" is an evocative reminder that history is not just about dates and events; it is about real people facing real struggles. Through this image, we gain insight into one such struggle within African society during that era – making it all the more valuable as both an artistic piece and historical artifact.
