EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Halt of a Boers Family" we are transported to the beautiful landscapes of South Africa in the early 19th century. The plate, engraved by artist Samuel Daniell in 1805, captures a moment of respite for a Boers family as they journey through the African wilderness. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush vegetation and a meandering river, teeming with vibrant birdlife. A covered wagon stands at the center, providing shelter and protection from the elements. Its canopy extends over an inviting tent where members of the family can rest and rejuvenate after their long travels. A mischievous monkey perches on top of the wagon's canopy, perhaps serving as both entertainment and companion during their arduous journey. The presence of this playful creature adds an element of whimsy to an otherwise serene setting. The print showcases not only the natural beauty but also highlights aspects of daily life for these pioneering families. It offers us a glimpse into their resourcefulness and resilience as they navigate through unfamiliar territories. This particular artwork is part of The Stapleton Collection held in private ownership but made accessible to art enthusiasts through Bridgeman Images. Its inclusion in African Scenery and Animals provides us with valuable insights into historical exploration and documentation during that era. Through this evocative image, we are reminded that even amidst challenging circumstances, there is always room for rest, reflection, and appreciation for nature's wonders.
