Tinus de Jongh Original Etching of Church Square Cape Town. c.1920s. Vintage Cars. Herbert Baker.

Original etching by Tinus de Jongh of Church Square Cape Town etched in about  the 1920s,  with the motor vehicles of the time parked outside. The buildings look pretty much the same now as they did then! The National Mutual Life Association of Australasia Ltd. building was designed by famous architect Herbert Baker. The gabled facade made of imposing Cape Granite, built in 1905, is in his iconic Cape Revival style, an interesting fusion of Cape Dutch, Renaissance, and Victorian influences.  This is the original building, still standing,  predating the matching extension of 1933. . The old Senior Civil Service Club is on the left, still intact today.

Clean dark imprint in an old wooden frame in very good condition. Mount is clean. 

Print is 23 cm x 22 cm. Frame is 39 cm x 31 c m.
