EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print showcases the vibrant culture and lifestyle of the Khoikhoi people in Africa. The image portrays a group of Khoikhoi individuals adorned in traditional kross sheepskin capes and aprons, standing outside one of their huts within a kraal or village compound. The intricate handcoloured copperplate engraving brings to life the rich details of their clothing and surroundings. The scene also depicts an intriguing aspect of the Khoikhoi's livelihood - ostrich hunting. In this dynamic portrayal, we witness a group of hunters accompanied by dogs as they embark on an adventurous pursuit. This glimpse into their daily activities provides valuable insight into their resourcefulness and connection with nature. Rev. Isaac Taylor's work, "Scenes in Africa for the Amusement and Instruction of Little Tarry-at-Home Travelers" serves as both entertainment and education about distant lands for young readers during that era. Through this historical artwork, viewers are transported back in time to witness firsthand the customs, traditions, and landscapes that shaped African history. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images offers us a window into another world - one filled with cultural diversity, ancient practices, and breathtaking scenery. It reminds us to appreciate the beauty found within different cultures while encouraging exploration beyond our own familiar surroundings.
