EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Fernwood, Newlands, a celebrated suburban locality in South Africa during the 19th century. The image transports us back to a time when old money and colonial residences defined this prestigious area at the foot of Table Mountain. The photograph captures a considerable amount of detail, allowing us to appreciate the architectural beauty and opulence of the properties that adorned Fernwood. These homesteads were owned by prominent figures such as Mr. Rhodes and Mr. C. D. Rudd, who played significant roles in shaping South African history. It is evident that much effort was spent improving this exclusive neighborhood, with its lush surroundings and picturesque landscapes adding to its allure. The photographer skillfully frames Fernwood against the backdrop of Table Mountain, emphasizing its natural splendor. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we can almost imagine gentlemen strolling along tree-lined streets or engaging in discussions over tea on elegant verandas. This image offers a glimpse into an era where elegance met ambition; where partners gathered to discuss matters that would shape their nation's future. Preserved within private collections for years, this photograph serves as a testament to both the artistry of early photography and the enduring legacy of Fernwood's grandeur. It allows us to appreciate not only its visual appeal but also its significance in capturing an important chapter in South African history.
