EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Johannesburg. The image showcases the grandeur of The Natal Bank, a prominent landmark on Market Street. With its imposing architecture and intricate detailing, this building stands as a testament to the city's growing prosperity during that era. The cobblestone street in front of the bank adds an authentic touch, reminding us of the vibrant activity that would have taken place here daily. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, we can almost imagine horse-drawn carriages passing by and people going about their business. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is a South African artist from the 19th century whose work has been preserved in private collections. This particular photograph was featured in Grocott & Sherrys Album of Johannesburg (1898), providing valuable documentation of the city's development at that time. Through this black and white medium, we are able to appreciate both the architectural beauty of The Natal Bank and gain insight into life in late 19th century South Africa. It serves as a visual reminder of how far Johannesburg has come while honoring its historical roots. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes our senses with its nostalgic charm.
