EDITORS COMMENTS
The Rand Club, Commissioner Street: A Glimpse into 19th Century Johannesburg Step back in time with this print of The Rand Club on Commissioner Street. Taken by an anonymous South African photographer in the late 19th century, this image offers a rare glimpse into the bustling streets of Johannesburg during its early years. The cobblestone street network, captured in exquisite detail, transports us to a time when horse-drawn carriages traversed these avenues. The sight of well-dressed individuals strolling along the sidewalks evokes a sense of sophistication and prosperity that characterized this vibrant city. Commissioner Street itself serves as the backdrop for this historic scene. Lined with elegant buildings and adorned with ornate lampposts, it was undoubtedly one of Johannesburg's most prominent thoroughfares at the time. The grandeur of The Rand Club stands tall amidst its surroundings, exuding an air of exclusivity and refinement. This remarkable photograph is part of Grocott & Sherrys Album of Johannesburg (1898), showcasing Simpson Bros' exceptional talent behind the lens. Preserved within a private collection, it allows us to appreciate not only their artistry but also their contribution to documenting South Africa's rich history. As we gaze upon this image from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to a bygone era – an era that shaped the foundations of modern-day Johannesburg.
