EDITORS COMMENTS
A Blizzard in Johannesburg: An Unusual Sight on Eloff Street in 1909, Transvaal, South Africa This photograph, taken in August 1909 at the junction of Eloff and Pritchard Streets in Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa, presents an extraordinary scene that defied the expectations of the time. The image, captured during a rare snowstorm, depicts a group of people enthusiastically throwing snowballs at each other, their laughter and joy evident in their expressions. The buildings lining Eloff Street, with their distinctive architectural styles, stand tall against the backdrop of the wintry scene. The Markham Building, with its ornate facade, dominates the left side of the photograph, while the imposing structure of the Standard Bank Building can be seen in the distance. The streets are almost deserted, save for a few cars huddled under the shelter of the buildings, their drivers likely seeking refuge from the unexpected weather. The sight of snow in Johannesburg, a city known for its hot and dry climate, was a rare occurrence. The last recorded snowfall in the city had been in 1884, making the August 1909 snowstorm an even more remarkable event. This photograph, a testament to the unpredictability of nature, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the unexpected joy that can be found in the most unusual of circumstances.
