EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a collection of ancient San Bushmen rock paintings discovered in Masitisi, Basutoland (now known as Lesotho), Southern Africa, dating back to the 1910s. The San Bushmen, also known as the Southern Bushmen or Basarwa, are an indigenous people with a rich cultural heritage that dates back over 20,000 years. The San Bushmen were renowned for their intricate rock art, which often depicted animals and their daily life. The paintings in this photograph primarily feature eland antelope, a large and majestic animal that was a significant source of food and sustenance for the San Bushmen. The presence of these paintings in Masitisi suggests that this area was an essential hunting ground for the San Bushmen community. The small doll-like figure in the foreground of the photograph adds an intriguing layer to the image. This figure, likely a representation of a San Bushman, offers a glimpse into their daily life and customs. The San Bushmen were not only skilled hunters but also gatherers, and this figure may depict a woman engaged in gathering activities. The paintings in this photograph were discovered in a cave, likely hidden away from the outside world to protect their sacred significance. The Drakensberg Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are home to some of the most extensive and best-preserved San Bushmen rock art in Southern Africa. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the San Bushmen and the importance of preserving and celebrating the artistic and historical significance of their rock art.
