EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 19th century, showcasing Walvis Bay, a vibrant city located in Namibia, South Africa. The image is an illustration from the renowned book "Africa" by Keith Johnston, published in 1884. In this picturesque scene, we are transported to a bustling harbor filled with activity. A majestic schooner gracefully sails through the calm waters of Walvis Bay's port while smaller vessels dot the horizon. The harbor itself appears busy and thriving as workers go about their daily tasks. The composition of this print beautifully captures the essence of life in this African coastal town during that era. It serves as a visual testament to the importance of maritime trade and commerce for Walvis Bay's development. The name "Walvis Bay" translates to "Whale Bay" which hints at its historical connection with these magnificent creatures. Although not visible in this particular image, it reminds us that whales were once abundant along these shores. Ken Welsh has skillfully preserved and reproduced this remarkable piece of history through his photography expertise. This print allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance of Walvis Bay during the 19th century. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are reminded of how much our world has changed over time while cherishing glimpses into our past that continue to shape our present-day perspectives on culture, trade, and exploration.
