EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches from South Africa, Views on the New Branch of the 'North Eastern Railway'" takes us back to the 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a series of sketches that were originally published in The Graphic on May 10,1879. The image transports us to the rugged landscapes of South Africa as we explore various scenes along this newly constructed railway branch. From atop Kloof, we witness a signalman diligently carrying out his duties amidst a sharp curve in the track. The topography is awe-inspiring with highlands and short embankments adding depth to the scenery. One sketch captures a dramatic moment when a runaway tip wagon hurtles down a steep embankment, highlighting both the challenges and dangers faced during construction. Another scene depicts Ross's Camp near Grahamstown, where workers gather for rest after their laborious efforts. The New Year's River Tunnel stands as an impressive feat of engineering skill while providing passage through difficult terrain. As our eyes wander across these sketches, we are transported into an era when railways were transforming transportation and connecting distant regions. This historical artwork offers not only visual delight but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in conquering nature's obstacles. Preserved within this private collection, it reminds us of how far we have come in building modern transportation networks while honoring those who paved the way for progress.
