EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical significance of Robben Island, located in Cape Town Harbour. The image showcases the Colonial Government Asylum for Lepers, a hauntingly beautiful structure that once housed those afflicted with leprosy. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving was featured in The Illustrated London News on January 18,1890. The composition depicts various elements of life on Robben Island during that time. A stone church and a lighthouse stand tall against the backdrop of this isolated island. Visitors can be seen crossing over to the island, while others are shown returning from their visit. A windmill diligently pumps water as part of daily life on the island. The architecture of the asylum is striking, showcasing intricate designs and detailing typical of that era. Male leper wards are visible within its walls, serving as a reminder of the suffering endured by those affected by leprosy. Robben Island's rich history is further emphasized through other notable features such as monuments and public works of art scattered throughout its landscape. This engraving provides viewers with a glimpse into an important chapter in South Africa's past. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance today.
