EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Perils of Travel in South Africa" transports us back to a time when the untamed wilderness posed great dangers for explorers and hunters alike. The scene unfolds near the Bubye River, where a gripping encounter between a fearsome Black Rhinoceros and a Griqua Hunters Waggon takes place. Rendered by John Charlton in 1893, this illustration captures the intensity of the moment as the massive rhino charges towards the wagon. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the intricate etchings on the rhino's hide to the strained expressions on both human and animal faces. In this dramatic depiction, we witness not only an animal attack but also a clash between man and nature. The Griqua Hunters Waggon stands as a symbol of human vulnerability against these powerful creatures that roam freely across South Africa's vast landscapes. As we delve into this historical artwork, it serves as a reminder of how perilous travel could be during those times. It showcases both the courage required to venture into uncharted territories and highlights mankind's reliance on wagons for transportation through treacherous terrain. "The Perils of Travel in South Africa" encapsulates not only wildlife encounters but also echoes themes of survival, resilience, and humanity's constant struggle with nature. This print invites us to reflect upon our own journeys through life while marveling at nature's raw power captured within its frames.
