The Fountain, Jouberts Park - A Glimpse into 19th Century Johannesburg
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print of "The Fountain, Jouberts Park" takes us back in time to the bustling city of Johannesburg in the late 19th century. Captured by an anonymous South African photographer from that era, this image is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Southern Africa. Located in Jouberts Park, this city fountain served as a central gathering point for both locals and visitors alike. The park itself was a popular leisure destination, offering respite from the fast-paced urban life. Children played joyfully on its playgrounds while adults found solace amidst its serene surroundings. The monochromatic tones add depth and character to the photograph, enhancing our senses as we imagine what it must have been like during that time period. The stark contrast between light and shadow evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. As we gaze upon this historical illustration originally featured in Grocott & Sherrys Album of Johannesburg (1898), we are reminded of the remarkable talent behind Simpson Bros. , who were responsible for capturing these timeless moments. This print serves as a valuable reminder of our connection to the past and encourages us to appreciate how far Johannesburg has come since then. It stands as a tribute to African artistry and invites us all to explore our own roots through visual storytelling.
