EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving titled "Wagon train in South Africa" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of African farmers and their mode of transportation. The print showcases a scene from Die Welt in Bildern, an educational publication by Braun & Schneider in Munich. In this lively illustration, we see a wagon train making its way through the vast African landscape. Oxen and horses tirelessly pull heavy wagons filled with supplies and livestock while farmers ride alongside, guiding their precious cargo. Sheep graze peacefully nearby as they accompany the travelers on their journey. The image not only highlights the practicality of wagons for long-distance travel but also emphasizes the importance of animals in these expeditions. It provides insight into how early settlers relied on livestock for both transport and sustenance during their travels across South Africa. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every stroke captures movement, showcasing the hustle and bustle of life on the road. From hitching wagons together to coupling wagonettes for passenger transportation, each element tells a story within itself. As we admire this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving means of transport throughout history and invites us to appreciate those who paved the way for modern-day journeys.
