EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Commissioner Street, Johannesburg" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of this vibrant South African city in the 19th century. The image captures a moment when life was teeming with activity on this principal thoroughfare. The scene showcases the grandeur of Commissioner Street, adorned with handsome buildings that reflect the architectural styles of that era. These unequalled erections house some of the leading firms and offices in town, including the Bank of Africa. One can only imagine the transacting and trading taking place within these walls. As night falls over Johannesburg, fine details emerge from the shadows - from traffic passing by to people going about their daily lives. The street is illuminated by gas lamps casting an enchanting glow on its expanse. This photograph not only captures a snapshot of life during those years but also serves as a testament to Johannesburg's rapid growth as a mining and business hub. It symbolizes progress and ambition against a backdrop of dreary veldt landscapes. "Commissioner Street, Johannesburg" offers us a glimpse into history - an opportunity to appreciate how this once-thriving artery has evolved over time while remaining an integral part of South African trade and commerce.
