EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense gaze of Cummings Young Bosjesman, a young African bushman. The image, taken in 1850 by G. S. Ward, showcases the stern expression on the face of this remarkable individual. Cummings Young Bosjesman was not just an ordinary person; he played a significant role as a professional animal hunter during his time. His expertise led him to accumulate numerous trophies and specimens across southern Africa, which he later sold or displayed in his touring exhibition back in Britain. The portrait reveals the depth of character within this young bushman's eyes as they pierce through the lens. With a frown etched upon his face, one can only imagine the experiences and challenges that shaped him into who he became. Roualeyn Gordon Cumming (1820-66), known for his passion for hunting and exploration, commissioned this painting to capture Cummings' essence. This artwork serves as both a testament to their encounter and an homage to the rich cultural heritage of African tribes like the Bosjesmans. Preserved in private collection today, this watercolor on paper print offers us a glimpse into history while also reminding us of our shared humanity across different cultures and backgrounds. It is through such images that we can appreciate diversity and celebrate individuals who have left indelible marks on our collective memory.
