Tall ships with Dutch flags ride the green water of the bay below Table Mountain in this hand-colored view of Cape Town from around 1770, with a 1925 map of the city inside. The print was made to be looked at through a mirror viewer, so its title was once printed backward. For a traveler, or someone with a heart in Cape Town.
