EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of Griquatown, Northern Cape" captures a poignant scene from the 19th century. In this image, we see the Khoikhoi people visiting their family graves, symbolizing their deep connection to their ancestors and heritage. The solemn atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of a Khoikhoi preacher standing in front of a wagon, delivering an impassioned sermon. The handcoloured copperplate engraving provides a glimpse into the rich history and cultural practices of the Griqua people in South Africa. Griquatown, located in the Northern Cape province, served as an important settlement for various indigenous groups during colonial times. The image evokes a sense of reverence and spirituality as it showcases both personal and communal rituals within this community. It offers us insight into how these traditions were passed down through generations and how they played a significant role in shaping the identity of the Khoikhoi people. Rev. Isaac Taylor's work "Scenes in Africa for the Amusement and Instruction of Little Tarry-at-Home Travelers" serves as an educational tool that brings African culture closer to those who may not have had direct exposure to it. This particular print invites viewers to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic beauty. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to explore this fascinating moment from our past while appreciating its aesthetic value as fine art.
