EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the late 18th century. Painted by William Hodges, this watercolor masterpiece showcases the stunning landscape of South Africa's iconic Table Mountain. The painting is part of an album collected by Admiral Isaac Smith and can be found at the Mitchell Library in New South Wales. The image transports us to a time when exploration was at its peak, specifically during Captain Cook's Second Voyage from 1772 to 1775. The painting captures the essence of this expedition with sailing boats dotting the coastal waters near Table Bay. The mountain itself stands tall and proud with its flat-topped plateau dominating the skyline. Hodges' attention to detail brings out the stark beauty of this geological formation. The sheer cliffs and steep slopes create a mesmerizing contrast against the calmness of the surrounding sea. It's no wonder why Table Mountain has become such an enduring landmark for Cape Town. This print not only offers a glimpse into history but also serves as a reminder of mankind's fascination with exploration and discovery. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded of our connection to nature and how it continues to shape our understanding of geography and land formations even centuries later.
