EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "Table Mountain, from the Docks" transports us back to 19th century South Africa. The image, captured by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown, showcases the majestic Table Mountain in all its grandeur. The photo takes us to the bustling docks of a bygone era, where ships are docked and people go about their daily activities. In the foreground, we see crates and barrels stacked high, evidence of a thriving trade industry that once thrived in this port city. Table Mountain dominates the background with its imposing presence; its rugged peaks reaching towards the heavens. The mountain's flat tabletop shape is clearly visible against the sky, creating a striking contrast between nature's beauty and man-made structures below. This print is believed to have been featured as an illustration for "Picturesque South Africa" a publication by Dennis Edwards around 1895. It serves as both a historical document and a work of art that captures the essence of South African landscapes during this time period. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness firsthand what life was like at these docks over a century ago. It reminds us of our connection to history and how photography has allowed us to preserve moments like these forever.
