EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Richard Caton Woodville II depicts a significant moment in history - the birth of Cape Colony and the first annexation of South Africa by the British. The scene showcases the ceremonial hoisting of the British flag at Cape Colony in 1795, marking a pivotal turning point for this region. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures every element with precision. The composition features prominent figures such as Bartholomew Diaz, Prince of Orange, Sir Alured Clarke, and Van Riebeeck among others. Their presence adds depth and historical context to this momentous occasion. The image portrays a sense of grandeur and celebration as flags flutter in the wind against a picturesque backdrop. It serves as a reminder of Britain's expanding dominions beyond its shores during that era. Woodville's skillful engraving technique brings life to this historical event, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the atmosphere and significance surrounding Cape Colony's birth. This print not only commemorates an important milestone but also serves as an educational tool, providing insights into colonialism and global exploration during the late 18th century. Displayed within private collections today, this artwork continues to captivate audiences with its rich narrative and artistic brilliance.
