Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this historic image is now part of a private collection. The picture showcases a mesmerizing view that has stood the test of time. The rugged majesty of Signal Hill looms in the background, its rocky slopes reaching towards the sky. On its right stands Lions Head, with its distinctive shape resembling a lion's profile against the horizon. The composition perfectly encapsulates the essence of South Africa's natural wonders. The stillness of the lake mirrors the tranquility found within these iconic landmarks. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in this moment frozen in time and experience firsthand what drew people to this enchanting place over a century ago. This photograph was originally featured as an illustration for an album showcasing photographic views of South Africa by G. W Wilson around 1900.
