EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Commissioner Street in Johannesburg during the 19th century. The Bank of Africa stands tall, a symbol of financial power and progress in Southern Africa. The cobblestone street network adds an old-world charm to the scene, transporting us to a time when horse-drawn carriages were a common sight. The photographer, Simpson Bros, captures the essence of this vibrant city with their skilled lens. Their work is now part of a private collection, preserving this piece of history for generations to come. This particular image was featured in Grocott & Sherrys Album of Johannesburg (1898), showcasing its significance as an iconic landmark at that time. As we gaze upon this photograph, our senses are awakened by the sights and sounds that once filled these streets. It serves as a reminder of how far South Africa has come since then, while also honoring its rich heritage. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we have access to remarkable pieces like this one that allow us to delve into different eras and cultures. Let's appreciate the artistry behind capturing moments frozen in time and celebrate the beauty found within historical photographs like this one from Commissioner Street's Bank of Africa.
