EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image transports us back in time to the bustling Johannesburg Market Square in Africa, prior to the year 1900. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of this dynamic city during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The Market Square, located in the heart of Johannesburg, was a vibrant hub of activity where locals and traders from various African ethnic groups came together to exchange goods and services. The photograph captures the lively atmosphere, with people haggling over prices, children playing, and merchandise displayed on mats and blankets. The image also reveals the influence of British colonialism in South Africa during this period. The Victorian-era architecture of the buildings surrounding the square, such as the red-roofed structures with white trim, reflect the British imperial presence. The lantern in the foreground, a common tool for illuminating dark spaces during this time, adds to the sense of history and nostalgia. Despite the colonial influence, the African people in the photograph maintain their cultural identity, as evidenced by their traditional clothing and the colorful textiles and patterns on display. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex interplay of cultures and the resilience of African communities during a time of significant change. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a time and place that continues to shape the story of Johannesburg and South Africa today. It invites us to reflect on the rich history of this diverse and vibrant city and the people who have called it home for generations.
