EDITORS COMMENTS
Devils Peak from the Gardens of Groot Schuur, Cape Town, South Africa (circa 1901) This photograph showcases the breathtaking view of Devils Peak from the gardens of Groot Schuur in Cape Town, South Africa. The image, taken around the year 1901, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of colonial history. Groot Schuur, located in the suburb of Rondebosch, was the residence of the prominent political figure, entrepreneur, and imperialist, Cecil Rhodes. Rhodes, a British businessman and statesman, is known for his significant role in the expansion of the British Empire in Africa. His home, now a national monument, stands proudly at the foot of Devils Peak, offering a stunning panoramic view of the mountain range. The photograph reveals the steep, rugged peaks of Devils Peak, with its distinctive shape and ominous name, a fitting moniker for the mountain's intimidating appearance. The gardens of Groot Schuur, with their lush greenery and carefully manicured steps, provide a stark contrast to the raw, untamed beauty of the mountains in the background. The trees, with their vibrant leaves and branches reaching towards the sky, add a touch of serenity to the scene. The Southern African landscape is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region, with its unique blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the complex history of Cape Town and South Africa, a history marked by colonialism, political upheaval, and the struggle for independence. The image serves as a reminder of the past, while also highlighting the enduring beauty and resilience of the land and its people.
