EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting landscapes of South Africa. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, it showcases the majestic Lions Head and Three Anchor Bay in Cape Town. The image is part of a private collection, adding to its historical significance. The composition captures the essence of this iconic African location, with Lions Head standing tall against a backdrop of rolling hills and a serene bay. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate how these sights looked over a century ago. Originally featured as an illustration for an album showcasing photographic views of South Africa by G. W Wilson around 1900, this photograph holds immense historical value. Its monochromatic tones add depth and character to the scene, emphasizing both its beauty and antiquity. As we gaze upon this old photograph, we are reminded of the rich history that lies within South Africa's shores. The view from Three Anchor Bay encapsulates both natural splendor and human ingenuity as Cape Town's urban landscape meets nature's grandeur. This image serves as a visual time capsule, transporting us back to an era when photography was still in its infancy but had already begun capturing moments that would forever shape our understanding of history.
