Cape Town First Sight Johannesburg Randt
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "From Cape Town to Johannesburg, the First Sight of the Randt" takes us on a visual journey through South Africa's stunning topography. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a momentous occasion that occurred on January 11,1896. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, our eyes are immediately drawn to the vast expanse of land stretching from Cape Town to Johannesburg. The intricate details and fine lines skillfully etched into the print bring every element of this landscape to life. From rolling hills and majestic mountains to winding rivers and lush vegetation, it is evident that Mother Nature has blessed this region with unparalleled beauty. Intriguingly, what makes this engraving truly special is its depiction of the first sighting of Randt. As viewers, we can almost feel the excitement and anticipation coursing through those who witnessed this landmark event. The Graphic magazine aptly chose to illustrate such a significant moment in South African history. This remarkable piece serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and an homage to nature's grandeur. It invites us to reflect upon how far we have come since that fateful day in 1896 when Johannesburg first came into view from Cape Town. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past as they remind us of our shared heritage and inspire us for generations yet unborn.
