EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white aerial view print takes us back in time to the 18th century, specifically 1931, showcasing the Vergelegen wine estate in South Africa. The image captures the vastness of this historic farm, with its sprawling grounds and meticulously planned vineyards that stretch as far as the eye can see. The Vergelegen wine estate stands as a testament to African agriculture and farming practices of yesteryears. Its buildings are beautifully depicted, reflecting the architectural style of that era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of South African winemaking and showcases how this particular estate played a significant role in shaping it. As we explore this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to an era where manual labor was employed for every aspect of wine production - from tending to the vines to harvesting grapes by hand. It reminds us of the dedication and craftsmanship required to create fine wines. Dorothea Fairbridge's involvement adds another layer of intrigue to this print. Her name is synonymous with literature on historic farms in South Africa, making her contribution invaluable when it comes to preserving our cultural heritage. This photograph not only celebrates Vergelegen's legacy but also pays homage to South Africa's vibrant arts scene. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, Africans were pioneers in various industries such as viticulture and winemaking – achievements worth cherishing today.
