EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Johannesburg Hospital and its sprawling grounds in the 19th century. Taken by a South African photographer, this image is part of a private collection. The photograph was featured in Grocott & Sherrys Album of Johannesburg in 1898, credited to "Simpson Bros". The hospital stands as a testament to the advancements made in medical science during that era. Serving as a general infirmary, it provided essential healthcare services to the people of Johannesburg and beyond. Its significance extended beyond just being a medical facility; it symbolized hope, healing, and progress. The composition showcases the grandeur of the building against an expanse of open space. The intricate architectural details are highlighted even more through the use of photography. This monochromatic aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to the image. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are transported back to a time when medicine was evolving rapidly, guided by figures like Asclepius - ancient Greek god associated with healing - whose influence can be seen in hospitals named after him or his temples called asklepieion. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the visual beauty but also reflects on how far we have come in terms of healthcare practices since those early days in South Africa's history.
