EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of Market Square in Johannesburg, Transvaal Colony, during the year 1901. Taken by GW Wilson and Company, this image showcases a bustling city scene filled with people going about their daily activities. The square is teeming with men engaged in various trades and businesses, creating a lively and busy ambiance. The photograph offers a glimpse into South Africa's rich cultural heritage as it depicts British colonial influence alongside the colorful South African community. Against the backdrop of Victorian architecture, market stalls are adorned with books and goods representing trade and commerce. The elevated view allows us to appreciate the vastness of this urban landscape while also highlighting its significance within the context of history. This location played a pivotal role during the Second Boer War (1899-1902), which was fought between Britain and two Boer republics - one being Transvaal Colony. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how far Johannesburg has come since then. It serves as a reminder of our shared past and how different societies have evolved over time. Louis Creswicke's book "South Africa and the Transvaal War" provides further insight into this historical period, making this print not only visually stunning but also an invaluable piece documenting an important chapter in both South African and British history.
