Thomas William Bowler (1812-1869) came to Cape Town from England in 1834 as a servant to the new Astronomer Royal of the colony, Thomas Maclear. He later established himself as a landscape painter and as a follower of the English watercolour school. He recorded all the important events at the Cape for thirty-five years in this medium.
