It continues along the Atlantic Seaboard to Cape Point, around False Bay, and on to the Winelands and Cape Agulhas. Table Mountain, the harbour waterfront, the cable car, the coastline and the city's flowers are all featured in full-page and double-page colour plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in Cape Town in 1999, it belongs to the tradition of glossy illustrated books on the Cape that were a staple of local bookshops. It is a handsome record of how the city was presented at the close of the twentieth century, and suits collectors of Cape Town and Western Cape Africana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: Mark Skinner \u0026amp; Sean Fraser\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMark Skinner is credited as the photographer of Scenic Cape Town, while Sean Fraser wrote the accompanying text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFraser also produced Scenic South Africa, which appeared in 1999.
