EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Views at the South Cape of Formosa" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the stunning landscapes and cultural scenes of Taiwan. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a variety of elements that make this image truly mesmerizing. In the foreground, we see a banian thicket and hear the sound of blasting as workers shape their surroundings. Beyond them lies a picturesque bay with its coral beach glistening under the noon sun. A bullock cart makes its way along a temporary lighthouse towards what seems to be a bustling light station. The topography is diverse and breathtaking – from dense jungles to clear channels that lead us deeper into this enchanting land. Divers can be spotted exploring the vibrant coral reefs beneath crystal-clear waters. As our eyes wander further, we discover quiet luncheon spots amidst serene clearings and stores dotting the landing place. Towards the south cape, mandarins' mat houses stand alongside engineers' huts, showcasing both traditional architecture and Western influence in this part of Formosa. This print not only captures nature's beauty but also offers insights into daily life during that era on this island known today as Taiwan. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed over time while preserving precious moments frozen in history forever.
