EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1876 showcases an ancient map of South Africa, offering a glimpse into the rich cartographic history of the region. The engraved image, now considered antique and obsolete, beautifully captures the topography and coastal features of Southern Africa. As we delve into this piece, we are transported to a bygone era where African culture thrived amidst vast landscapes. The horizontal composition allows us to admire the intricate details etched onto this historical artifact. The coastline is meticulously depicted, tracing the contours of both the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean as they meet with South Africa's shores. This map serves as a testament to how geography has shaped the nation's identity over time. While no people are present in this photograph taken in 2015, it invites us to reflect on our connection with the past and appreciate how far we have come since its creation almost 150 years ago. Displayed proudly at Fine Art Storehouse, this print offers art enthusiasts and history buffs alike an opportunity to explore South Africa through a lens that transcends time. It reminds us of our collective heritage while also celebrating the beauty found within old maps – their ability to tell stories and preserve memories for generations to come.
