Additional Details:
The view shows the town nestled behind its mighty guardian. Seen at early morning from ship-deck, it forms a most picturesque and striking picture, which indelibly fixes itself on the minds of all those who look on South Africa for the first time. During certain seasons of the year the town is subject to great wind storms, known as "Southeasters", whose advent is heralded by a white cloud, locally termed the "Table Cloth", making its appearance along the ridge of the mountain
