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.
