Now Viewing: Meerlust Rubicon
On the 3rd July 1693, the Governor of the Cape, Simon van der Stel, granted the land to Henning Hüsing, who named the farm Meerlust, describing the sense of pleasure he obtained from the sea breezes that blew inland from False Bay. Johannes Albertus Myburgh bought Meerlust in January 1757. His ownership marked the foundation of the Myburgh Dynasty. The work depicted, by Johann Frederici, gives a lively impression of life on the farm at the end of the 18th Century.
