EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches in Damaraland, South Africa" takes us back to the 19th century when exploration and discovery were at their peak. The print showcases a collection of sketches that vividly depict various scenes from this remote region. In the foreground, we see Mr. Robert Lewis diligently capturing the essence of Damaraland's landscapes with his sketchbook in hand. His attention is focused on a riverbed, where water once flowed freely through its now dry channels. This barren yet intriguing sight hints at the challenges faced by early explorers as they ventured into uncharted territories. Further along the composition, our gaze is drawn towards Wallfisch Bay - a bustling hub within this new gold district. A camp has been set up nearby, indicating human presence amidst nature's grandeur. Nearby stands a traditional Kamahereros house, showcasing the local culture and architecture. The artist skillfully includes other notable locations such as Otymbinque and Okahandga within these sketches. These names evoke curiosity about what lies beyond their borders and pique our interest to explore further. Through this historical engraving, we are transported back in time to witness an era of adventure and exploration in South Africa's untamed lands. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit for knowledge and understanding of our world's diverse landscapes.
