EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1900, showcasing the Pretoria Mint in the Transvaal before it fell under British control. The image captures a moment frozen in time, revealing an interior scene bustling with activity. A group of men, dressed in formal attire, stand proudly amidst the machinery that fills the room. The photograph offers a glimpse into South Africa's rich history of arts, manufacturing, and finance. It symbolizes a country on the brink of change as war looms over its horizon. The direct gazes of these individuals convey determination and resilience in uncertain times. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical snapshot while evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. Published by Black & White Budget magazine from The Black and White Publishing Company, this print serves as both documentation and artistry. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported to Pretoria at the turn of the century – a city filled with hopes and dreams yet overshadowed by conflict. This photograph reminds us of our connection to those who came before us, their struggles shaping our present reality. With every detail captured within its frame - from books lining shelves to intricate machinery - this photo invites us to explore not only its visual beauty but also contemplate its significance within South African history.
