EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the aftermath of a powerful explosion that took place in Wasbank, KwaZulu, Natal, South Africa between 1899 and 1901. The image titled "Spoorwegberg te vernield door dijnamite" (Railway mountain destroyed by dynamite) is attributed to Jan van Hoepen, a talented Dutch photographer who lived from 1856 to 1922. The photograph captures the sheer devastation caused by the detonation of dynamite on Spoorwegberg, leaving behind a scene of chaos and destruction. The albumen silver print beautifully conveys the contrast between the rugged landscape and remnants of what was once an imposing railway mountain. As we gaze at this historical artifact frozen in time, it serves as a poignant reminder of human ingenuity and its ability to shape nature's course. It also highlights the impact that technological advancements had on infrastructure development during this period. Although little information about Jan van Hoepen exists today, his photographic skills are evident in this remarkable composition. This particular print offers us a glimpse into South Africa's past while simultaneously igniting our curiosity about how such an event unfolded over a century ago.
