Strauss & co - September 2026 Highlights

Based on historical research and physical evidence, the present lot is believed to very likely depict the historic Alfred Basin at Table Bay Harbour, presently known as the V & A Waterfront. The composition captures the traditional quayside posts, commercial fishing boats, and the characteristic background silhouette of Signal Hill, aligning closely with the maritime architecture of Cape Town’s port.
