EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Sylvan Retreat, Newlands" takes us back to the 19th century in South Africa. The image showcases the picturesque beauty of this enchanting place, captured by an English photographer whose name remains unknown. In this scene, a group of women stands amidst the sylvan retreat, surrounded by rivers and waterfalls that form a breathtaking backdrop. The serene atmosphere and natural splendor make it evident why this location is considered one of the most beautiful places in South Africa. The Cape Peninsula's Newlands area boasts shallow yet navigable waters that meander through gorges and create miniature waterways. In this particular spot, known as Sylvan Retreat, the river appears saturated with its rich colors reflecting off its muddy banks. The presence of these women adds a touch of life to the otherwise tranquil setting. They seem to be engaged in various activities; some are washing clothes while others engage in conversation or simply enjoy their surroundings. This print is part of a private collection but was originally featured as an illustration for "Picturesque South Africa" by Dennis Edwards around 1895. It offers us a glimpse into a time long gone when nature's wonders were appreciated for their raw beauty without any modern distractions. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still admire this remarkable piece of history today.
