EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Grand National Hotel, a historic landmark once situated on the corner of Rissik Street and Pritchard Street in Johannesburg, South Africa. The image, part of the Boswell Collection, Box 287, South Africa Diamond Mines, dates back to the late 1890s. The Grand National Hotel was a significant building during the late 19th century, a time when Johannesburg was rapidly growing as a result of the diamond rush. The hotel, with its grand facade and imposing presence, would have been a popular destination for travelers and miners seeking lodging and amenities. The building no longer stands, but this photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Johannesburg during its formative years. The image, which is part of a collection of lantern slides, provides a fascinating window into the past, transporting us back to a time when the promise of wealth and opportunity drew people from all corners of the globe to the diamond mines of South Africa. This photograph is not only a historical record but also a reminder of the enduring allure of the past and the stories it holds.
