Description
"Der englische Kriegshafen Simonstown." ("The English war harbor Simonstown."). In the distance the picture shows a coast line at the foot of two mountains, above them clouds. A couple of big ships in front of it. In the center of the picture the sea. In the foreground rocks on the coast. Rail ways leading along the coast line. A sign standing next to it. A fence between the coast and the sandy road in the foreground of the picture. Imprinted on the image: "1501."
Cf. photo no. 1502 and no. 1503. As picture no. 1502 which shows several large ships in the harbor of Simonstown during war time and picture no. 1503 which shows the same kinds of ships this picture was probably also taken during the First World War as the large number of big ships near the coast might indicate.
