EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Rissik Street, Looking South from Railway Crossing" takes us back to the bustling streets of Johannesburg in the 19th century. The image, captured by a talented South African photographer, offers a glimpse into the city's rich history. The photograph showcases Rissik Street, a prominent thoroughfare that stretches out before us. Cobblestone streets create an atmosphere of old-world charm as they lead our eyes towards the distant horizon. The street network is intricately laid out with avenues branching off in different directions, revealing the organized urban planning of this growing metropolis. As we take in this scene frozen in time, we can't help but imagine the sights and sounds that would have filled these streets over a century ago. Perhaps horse-drawn carriages clattered along while pedestrians hurriedly made their way through the busy thoroughfare. The monochromatic palette adds depth and contrast to every detail captured by Simpson Bros. , who are credited for their skilled craftsmanship behind this remarkable illustration. Their work has preserved an important moment in Johannesburg's history for future generations to appreciate. This print serves as both a visual delight and historical artifact, transporting us back to an era when Rissik Street was at its prime. It allows us to reflect on how much has changed since then while appreciating the enduring spirit of this vibrant city located in southern Africa.
