EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a breathtaking view of Lions Head from the Tower of Post Office in Cape Town, South Africa. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this picture is now part of a private collection. The image showcases the foot of Lions Head as it majestically rises above the cityscape. The central focus lies on Adderley Street, with its rows of houses extending towards the new and expanded boundaries of Cape Town. The tower itself stands tall, offering an elevated perspective that reveals both the upper and lower parts of this vibrant suburb. As one gazes at this photograph, they can't help but appreciate how much Cape Town has evolved over time. The post office tower serves as a reminder of progress and development in this South African city. It symbolizes increased connectivity and communication within its boundaries. With Tamboers Kloof to the north-west and various designated areas visible throughout, this picture paints a vivid portrait of life in Cape Town during that era. It offers us an idea of what it was like to live in such a bustling metropolis at that time. Overall, this stunning photograph beautifully captures not only the natural beauty surrounding Cape Town but also provides us with glimpses into its rich history and architectural heritage.
