About This Item
1875. Constantia was one of the six wine regions around Capetown, South Africa. Penciled caption on verso reads, "Wine vaults , Constantia, Nr. Capetown." Note the man, perhaps a traveling companion or guide, standing on steps.
The Constantia estate was established in 1685 by Governor of the Cape, Simon van der Stel. By 1778 Constantia wines were made famous under Hendrik Cloete, becoming the favorite of European rulers such as Frederic the Great and Napoleon, who is said to have ordered it even in exile. Approx. 7 x 4 1/2"
