Devils Peak by moonlight, Cape Town, South Africa, June 1917

1917

“Moonlight effect, Devil’s Point, Cape Town.” View of Devil’s Peak with moonlight reflecting off the water in the bay. The photograph was taken during a sightseeing trip by RAMC officers during a stopover in Cape Town on their way to German East Africa. ❧ The image is from an album chronicling the war time experiences of Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) in East Africa. During this time he would meet Dr John W Arthur which in turn would lead to his missionary work at Chogoria in Kenya.
