EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - "The arrival of the fleet in the time of Simon van der Stel, 1931". The image showcases the coastal beauty of South Africa during the 17th century, as a fleet of Dutch ships makes its way to shore. Simon van der Stel, the first Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, played a crucial role in colonialism and exploration during this era. This engraving is taken from Dorothea Fairbridge's renowned book "Historic Farms of South Africa" published by Oxford University Press in London. The mountainous landscape serves as an awe-inspiring backdrop for this scene, highlighting both the natural beauty and strategic importance of this location. The galleons gracefully navigate through calm waters towards their destination, symbolizing the transportation and trade that shaped South Africa's history. As we delve into this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to a time when ships were lifelines connecting continents. It reminds us of how literature and art can preserve our heritage and allow us to appreciate our past. This print is not just an artistic representation; it holds immense historical value. It offers us glimpses into centuries-old traditions, cultures, and events that have shaped South African society today. Let this image be a reminder that our roots run deep within these lands and inspire us to explore further into our rich African heritage.
