EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting town of Caledon in the Cape Colony during the 19th century. The image, captured by an English photographer, showcases the picturesque beauty of this celebrated South African destination. As we gaze upon this stunning scene, our eyes are drawn to a breathtaking sunset casting its warm glow over the land. The flowers in full bloom add a touch of everlasting beauty to this tranquil setting. Visitors from far and wide would flock to Caledon, enticed by its unique charm and mild climate. Cape Colony's governor, Earl of Caledon, granted this locality with a temperate climate that was peculiarly mild compared to other parts of South Africa. Situated near the southern ocean, cool zephyrs from miles away tempered the hot summer days while winter brought refreshing breezes. Caledon became known as a popular sanatorium for Europeans seeking respite from their colder climates up north. Its natural springs were renowned for their chalybeate properties and attracted those in search of rejuvenation. In this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the gentle sea breeze on our faces as we take a leisurely drive along Caledon's seashore. This print is not only a testament to nature's beauty but also serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined history and photography truly are.
