Gezicht op de Tafelbaai vanaf de Tafelberg in Kaapstad c. 1940 - 1960

This black and white photograph by Blackshaw, taken sometime between 1940 and 1960, offers an aerial view of Cape Town's Table Bay. The image captures the city's sprawling urban landscape, with its dense grid of streets, as well as the vast expanse of the bay and the iconic Table Mountain in the distance. The photograph provides a unique perspective on the city, showcasing its growth and development during this period. The small dimensions of the photograph suggest it may have been intended for personal use or as part of a collection of postcard-sized images.
