The Making of a City, the Morning Market - A Glimpse into Johannesburg's Vibrant Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph takes us back to the bustling streets of Johannesburg in the late 19th century. Captured by an English photographer whose name has been lost to time, this image offers a rare glimpse into the making of a city that would soon become one of South Africa's most prominent metropolises. The scene unfolds at dawn, as traders set up their stalls for the morning market. The air is filled with anticipation and energy as locals gather to buy and sell goods. Cattle can be seen being herded through the streets, adding an element of liveliness to this snapshot from history. Every corner tells a story - from vendors passionately haggling over prices to shoppers meticulously inspecting produce. This photograph encapsulates not only the essence of daily life but also hints at Johannesburg's rapid urbanization during this period. Originally published in The Illustrated London News in August 1895, this image served as an illustration showcasing Johannesburg's growth and development. Today, it serves as a valuable historical artifact that allows us to reflect on how far this vibrant city has come. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time; our imaginations ignited by its rich details and lively atmosphere. It reminds us that every great city starts somewhere – with humble beginnings rooted in vibrant markets like these.
