Editor's note. The occupation of the Cape by the British in1806 period one of the great watersheds in the history of the colony and indeed of the embryonic nation itself. It was thereby incorporated for a century and a half into the greatest empire the world had yet known, the legacy of which is felt even today. The majority of the illustrations appearing in this book have been drawn form the splendid Brenthurst collection of Africana and they record, before the days of the camera, the Cape as it appeared during the years 1806 to 1872.
