EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Good Sport" captures the essence of a bygone era in South Africa. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The image transports us to a time when hunting was not only understood but also celebrated as a popular pastime. In the Cape Colony, during the hunting season, it was customary for parties to gather and embark on successful wholesale hunts across the picturesque landscapes of South Africa. This particular scene showcases a group of enthusiastic sportsmen proudly posing with their trophies. The government-sanctioned trip aimed to proclaim South African wildlife as abundant and readily available for those seeking adventure. The illustration originally appeared in "Picturesque South Africa" by Dennis Edwards around 1895. It serves as a testament to both the beauty of nature and man's desire to conquer it through photography. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded that times have changed since then. Today, conservation efforts have reshaped our understanding of wildlife preservation. Nevertheless, this image offers us a glimpse into an era where hunting was seen as good sport - an idea that once thrived in paradise-like surroundings like those found in South Africa.
