EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Exodus from Johannesburg, Natives besieging the Parsonage for Railway Tickets" transports us back to a pivotal moment in South African history. Created by Frank Dadd in 1899, this print captures the chaotic scene outside the Parsonage as native Africans desperately seek railway tickets to escape Johannesburg. Intriguingly, this illustration was originally featured in The Graphic on November 11th of that year. It serves as a poignant reminder of the tumultuous times during which it was created. As tensions mounted and war loomed over South Africa, many natives sought refuge from the escalating conflict. Dadd's meticulous attention to detail brings this street scene to life. Every figure is meticulously rendered with expressions of desperation and urgency etched upon their faces. We witness men and women huddled together, anxiously awaiting their turn at securing precious railway tickets that would lead them away from danger. "The Exodus from Johannesburg" not only showcases Dadd's artistic prowess but also highlights an important chapter in South African history. This engraving offers viewers a glimpse into the struggles faced by native Africans during this period of upheaval and displacement. Now part of a private collection, this lithograph continues to captivate audiences with its powerful depiction of human resilience amidst adversity. It stands as a testament to both Dadd's skill as an artist and his ability to capture significant historical moments through his work.
