EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of Montagu Pass in South Africa. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the picturesque landscape that was once a vital transportation route. Montagu Pass, located between Oudtshoorn and George in Cape Colony, was a significant pass for both trade and travel. The advantage of this mountain pass became evident with the construction of a railway line that connected these two towns. This photo is a testament to the engineering marvels of its time. The South African countryside boasts many natural beauties, but Montagu Pass stands out as one of its most stunning gems. With its winding roads surrounded by majestic mountains, it perfectly embodies the beauty ideal associated with this region. This print is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration in "Picturesque South Africa" by Dennis Edwards around 1895. It serves as a reminder of how photography can capture not only moments but also preserve history for generations to come. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply appreciate the wonders of nature, this photograph from Bridgeman Images will transport you to another era and allow you to admire the splendorous Montagu Pass in all its glory.
