EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Mossel Bay" takes us back to the 19th century in South Africa. The image, captured by an English photographer, showcases the bustling seaport of Mossel Bay with its landing docks and shipping activities. It offers a glimpse into the daily life of this important colonial town. The photograph beautifully depicts the diverse range of facilities that served the inhabitants of Mossel Bay. From markets teeming with all kinds of produce to railway lines ready to transport goods for export throughout South Africa, this seaport was a hub of activity. The wide array of cargo seen on display highlights just how greatly Mossel Bay contributed to trade in the region. From tobacco and feathers to oranges and ostrich products, it embraced various divisions within its district including Willowmore, Ladismith, Riversdale, Uniondale, and Oudtshoorn. In this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the energy as people go about their daily routines - some engaged in conversation while others eagerly load or unload shipments from ships at the jetty. This historic photograph not only captures a moment but also tells a story about Mossel Bay's significance as an important seaport during that era. With its rich history and vibrant atmosphere depicted here through stunning photography techniques, it is no wonder why this print has become such a cherished piece among art enthusiasts worldwide.
