The Devils Peak, Cape Town - A Captivating Black and White Glimpse into 19th Century South Africa
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing photograph captures the majestic beauty of The Devils Peak in Cape Town. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print is a part of a private collection that showcases the enchanting landscapes of South Africa. The image depicts The Devils Peak standing tall and strong, its slopes forming gorges and waterfalls that cascade down with great force. Situated to the east of Cape Town's Table Valley, this mountain peak offers a breathtaking view for any visitor who dares to walk along its peaks. In the distance, one can spot small forts or blockhouses erected as observation points during times of war. These structures serve as reminders of the historic significance attached to this region. Despite its name, The Devils Peak presents a pleasant sight even on windy days when gusts blow fiercely through Roeland Street. During summer months, hikers brave the high winds to explore its rugged terrain and witness nature's terrific power firsthand. This print allows us to travel back in time and experience the awe-inspiring beauty that captivated early photographers like General Craig. It serves as a reminder of how South African landscapes have enchanted visitors for centuries and continue to do so today.
