EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Barbican Building, a prominent architectural landmark located at the corner of President Street and Rissik Street in Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa, during the 1930s. The image, taken around the time of the Empire Exhibition in 1936, showcases the modern, large-scale buildings that were becoming increasingly common in the city during this period. The Barbican Building, with its sleek lines and imposing presence, stands as a testament to the urban development and growth that was taking place in Johannesburg during the 1930s. The building's design, which features a mix of Art Deco and Modernist influences, was considered quite innovative for its time and helped to shape the city's skyline. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the bustling streets of Johannesburg during this era. The image is filled with a sense of energy and activity, as people go about their daily business, and the vibrant colors and textures of the buildings add to the visual richness of the scene. The Barbican Building, which was constructed primarily for residential and commercial use, was one of many impressive structures that were built during the 1930s in Johannesburg. Its enduring appeal and historical significance continue to make it a beloved and iconic part of the city's architectural heritage.
