About: Johannesburg Then and Now

Johannesburg Then and Now captures the dramatic transformation of the City of Gold - from a temporary diggers' camp in the nineteenth century to the cosmopolitan metropolis of today. In a series of fascinating juxtapositions, rare archival photographs, dating from the 1880s to the 1940s, are contrasted with modern images of the same locations, accompanied by brief commentaries on the changing scenes. The result is a fascinating portrait of a city that has been in a state of continuous evolution since its inception, always building on the past to reinvent the present.
