EDITORS COMMENTS
This steel engraving takes us back to the year 1841, immersing us in the rugged beauty of South Africa. The print showcases the Pass of the Great Fish River, a majestic landscape that stretches as far as the eye can see. Created by F. Goodall and based on a drawing by William Purser, this artwork captures the essence of this remarkable region. In this scene, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn wagons were a common mode of transportation. A wagon is depicted fording through the river with great determination, navigating its way through rocky terrain and turbulent waters. The presence of these pioneers reminds us of their resilience and determination to explore new frontiers. The middle ground reveals a breathtaking panoramic view: towering mountains rise majestically against clear blue skies while verdant vegetation adorns their slopes. This scenic vista offers a glimpse into South Africa's diverse natural wonders. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from each blade of grass swaying gently in the breeze to every ripple on the surface of the river. This engraving truly brings this momentous journey to life. As we admire this historical masterpiece, let it serve as a reminder that even amidst challenges and obstacles, there is always beauty waiting to be discovered - just like those intrepid explorers who ventured into uncharted territories centuries ago.
