EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image transports us back in time to the Africa Johannesburg Stock Exchange pre-1900, as depicted in a rare lantern slide from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available exclusively through Mary Evans Prints Online. The photograph captures the bustling energy of the early financial hub in Johannesburg, South Africa, during the height of British colonialism. The Victorian and Edwardian eras are brought to life through the intricate details of this black and white image. Dapper gentlemen in top hats and formal attire can be seen engrossed in intense negotiations, their faces etched with concentration. The women, dressed in elegant gowns and bonnets, watch the proceedings with keen interest from the sidelines. The atmosphere is electric, with the exchange's ornate columns and intricate architectural details adding to the sense of importance and grandeur. The Africa Johannesburg Stock Exchange was established in 1887, making it one of the oldest stock exchanges in the world. It played a crucial role in the economic development of the region during the gold rush, attracting investors from around the world. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of finance and colonialism in Africa. The lantern slide format of this image adds to its historical significance, as it was a popular medium for presentations and educational purposes during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, it serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to shape our world.
