Robert Jacob Gordon’s "Panorama of Plettenberg Bay" (c. 1778) is a panoramic landscape drawing depicting the Plettenberg Bay area in South Africa. The drawing, created by the Dutch military officer and cartographer, is a detailed and accurate representation of the landscape, showcasing the Keurbooms River, the surrounding hills, and the vastness of the bay. The artwork is an example of 18th-century topographical art and provides valuable insight into the geography and landscape of the region during that time.
