EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Sassaybe and the Hartebeest" is a remarkable illustration from the renowned book "Wild Sports of South Africa" by W. C. Harris, published in 1841. The coloured engraving showcases the exquisite talent of William Cornwallis Harris, an English artist known for his exceptional depictions of African wildlife. In this scene, we are transported to the vast plains of South Africa, where two magnificent antelopes gracefully roam. The Sassaybe and the Hartebeest stand side by side, their elegant forms captured with meticulous detail. The vibrant colours breathe life into their coats as they blend harmoniously with their natural surroundings. Harris's mastery lies not only in his ability to accurately portray these majestic creatures but also in capturing their spirit and essence. Through intricate lines and delicate shading techniques, he brings forth a sense of movement and vitality that truly mesmerizes the viewer. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are reminded of the rich diversity found within Africa's wildlife. It serves as a testament to nature's beauty and resilience while igniting our curiosity about these fascinating animals' lives in their native habitat.
