It has as its centrepiece the drawings of John Dobie (1819-1903). It is argued that topographical drawing is enmeshed in the landscape and its attendant cultural discourse. On this basis an analogy is drawn between topographical drawing and navigation.enKwaZulu-Natal--Description and travel.Landscape in art--KwaZulu-Natal--History--19Th Century.Drawing--19Th Century--KwaZulu-Natal.Topographical drawing--KwaZulu-Natal.Dobie, John Shedden, 1819-1903.Navigation.Theses--Fine art.Thesis
