EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Alfred Docks" takes us back to the 19th century in South Africa. The image showcases the bustling morning scene at Table Bay, as a majestic steamer enters the city's port. The panoramic view captures the grandeur of Table Mountain in the background, while Lion's Head and Devil's Peak stand proudly on either side. As the vessel slowly approaches, we can see decks filled with passengers eagerly awaiting their arrival. The docks are alive with activity as wharves become busy with vessels berthed and anchors being signalled. In this beautiful sighted scene, one cannot help but appreciate the sheer beauty of South African landscapes. The early morning light casts a magical glow over everything it touches - from the stunning natural surroundings to the architectural marvels of Alfred Docks themselves. This print is a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence. Photographer Dennis Edwards perfectly captures this moment in time for his work on Picturesque South Africa. With meticulous attention to detail, he brings out every aspect of beauty idealized by those who encounter this breathtaking view. Whether you are an admirer of photography or simply fascinated by history, this print offers a glimpse into a bygone era when steamers arrived from Europe after hours or even days at sea. It serves as a reminder that even amidst industrialization and progress, there will always be moments where nature's splendor shines through.
