EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover design for the Cape Times Annual, published in 1937, commemorates the arrival of Jan van Riebeeck in the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, on April 6, 1652. Van Riebeeck, a Dutch navigator and colonial administrator, is depicted standing confidently on the deck of a Dutch East India Company (VOC) ship, with the Table Mountain range and the Cape Peninsula visible in the background. The year 1652 is inscribed at the bottom left corner, while the date "April 6" and the price "6s. 6d." (six shillings and sixpence) are displayed at the bottom right. The image is a testament to the rich history of Dutch colonialism in South Africa and the significant role that Jan van Riebeeck played in shaping the region's future. Van Riebeeck's arrival marked the beginning of European settlement in the Cape, which would eventually lead to the establishment of the Dutch colonial administration and the growth of a multicultural society. The cover design, created by an unknown artist, masterfully captures the spirit of exploration and discovery that characterized the 17th century. The use of bold lines, vibrant colors, and intricate details adds to the overall impact of the image, making it a striking representation of the past. The Cape Times Annual was a publication that showcased the most important events and achievements of the year, providing readers with a comprehensive overview of local, national, and international news. This cover design, with its historical significance and artistic merit, is a fitting representation of the publication's mission to inform and inspire its audience.
