EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image transports us back in time to the Africa Johannesburg Wanderers Recreation Grounds, a beloved leisure destination in Johannesburg, South Africa, prior to 1900. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the charm and allure of an era long gone. The image is filled with a sense of tranquility and nostalgia, as we observe the lush, green expanse of the recreation grounds, dotted with trees and adorned with a picturesque pavilion. The Victorian and Edwardian influence is evident in the elegant, ornate design of the pavilion, a testament to the British colonial rule during this period. The lantern slide, an early form of visual presentation, adds to the intrigue and mystery of the photograph. It is believed that this image was used for educational or entertainment purposes during lectures or presentations, allowing viewers to experience a far-off land and culture from the comfort of their own homes. The African continent, with its rich history and diverse population, was a source of fascination for many during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This photograph provides a unique perspective, focusing not on the political or commercial aspects of the African continent, but rather on the everyday life and recreational activities of its residents. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power of photography to transport us to different times and places, and to offer a window into the past. The Africa Johannesburg Wanderers Recreation Grounds, as captured in this beautiful lantern slide, remains a captivating reminder of a bygone era.
