"Hosking: Capturing Moments of History and Nature's Beauty" Step into the world of Hosking, a name that holds tales of bravery, resilience, and an eye for capturing the essence of life. From the brave Titanic engineers who faced unimaginable challenges, including 14 who were lost in history's most infamous maritime disaster. Travel back to Cape Town in 1901, where a muster of the Cape Town Guard took place on the Parade Ground. Witness their unity and strength as they stood ready to protect their homeland. In another moment frozen in time by Alfs Hosking himself, we find ourselves amidst wounded soldiers being conveyed to Wynberg Hospital Camp in 1900. The compassion and dedication displayed during times of war are evident as these heroes receive care and support. But Hosking's lens didn't only focus on human stories; it also captured moments that touched his heart from nature's realm. In 1938, he encountered a Tawny Owl that forever changed his life when it took his eye. Despite this setback, Hosking continued to pursue his passion with unwavering determination. His lens then transported us to witness Hindoo Refugees seeking solace at a camp in Cape Town during the same year. Their faces tell stories of displacement and hope for a better future amidst turbulent times. The arrival at Cape Town of Wounded from Natal showcases yet another chapter etched by Hosking's camera - one filled with pain but also resilience as injured soldiers return home after battle. As we delve deeper into Eric Hoskings' work, we discover glimpses into nature's wonders - flocking Turtle Doves dancing through Staverton skies in 1945 or witnessing Spotted Flycatchers gracefully perched upon branches in Eyke Suffolk just three years later.
