EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the progress of building the iconic Carlton Hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa, in the year 1904. The image presents an intriguing glimpse into the past, showcasing the meticulous construction process that brought this architectural marvel to life. The frame is dominated by the skeletal structure of the building, with its intricate network of iron beams and sturdy steel girders forming the foundation of the hotel. The beams are arranged in a grid-like pattern, creating a sense of order and stability. The framework is held together by an array of bolts and rivets, a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The construction site is bustling with activity, with workers in various stages of completing the building. Some are seen hammering nails into wooden planks, while others are laying bricks or mixing cement. The scene is a microcosm of the industrious spirit that characterized the early 20th century in South Africa. The Carlton Hotel, located in the heart of Johannesburg, was a symbol of progress and prosperity during the early 1900s. Its construction marked a significant milestone in the city's development, and it quickly became a landmark and a hub of social activity. The hotel's grand opening in 1905 was a much-anticipated event, and it drew visitors from all corners of the world. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the construction process of one of Johannesburg's most iconic buildings.
