EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "How Johannesburg looked before the Trees were grown up" takes us back to the late 19th century in South Africa. Captured by a talented South African photographer, this image is part of a private collection that offers a glimpse into the history and development of Johannesburg. The scene depicted showcases an early version of Johannesburg, before the city was adorned with lush greenery. The absence of trees highlights the rawness and untamed nature of this bustling urban center during its formative years. This historical photograph was originally used as an illustration for "Scenes and Life in the Transvaal" a publication by The Art Photo-Publishing Company around 1890. As we observe this snapshot from another era, it becomes evident that botany and natural history played significant roles in shaping scientific methods at that time. The lack of vegetation serves as a reminder of how humans have transformed landscapes over time through intentional cultivation. Through this thought-provoking image, we are transported to an era when Johannesburg was still evolving, offering us a unique perspective on its growth and transformation. It is thanks to photographs like these that we can appreciate both the progress made by humanity and our impact on nature throughout history.
