EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Cape Town takes us back to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into the city's rich history. The European photographer skillfully captures the essence of this iconic South African destination, showcasing its natural beauty and unique landmarks. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly Table Mountain, majestically rising above the cityscape. Its rugged crags stand in stark contrast to the calm waters of Table Bay, creating a picturesque scene that has enchanted visitors for centuries. As we delve deeper into this historical photograph, we can't help but imagine what life was like during this time period. The bustling streets filled with horse-drawn carriages and people going about their daily routines evoke a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. This particular print was featured in "The Outline of the World To-Day" edited by Sir Harry Johnston and Dr L Haden Guest in approximately 1920. It serves as a visual representation of Cape Town's significance on a global scale during that period. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' meticulous preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness this piece from their private collection today. It reminds us not only of Cape Town's historical importance but also highlights how photography has allowed us to travel through time and experience different epochs firsthand.
