Sport in South Africa - A Glimpse into the Thrilling Adventures of the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Sport in South Africa" takes us back to a bygone era filled with excitement and camaraderie. Captured by Charles Edwin Fripp in 1891, this chromolitho showcases a scene from an illustrated publication called The Graphic. In this vivid image, we witness a group of British hunters engaged in an exhilarating pursuit amidst the vast landscapes of South Africa. With smoke billowing from their firearms and signal shots piercing through the air, these intrepid adventurers chase after game such as harte beeste across grassy plains and desert lands. The weariness etched on their faces tells tales of long journeys, hungry nights, and jaded bodies. Yet despite their tiredness, they find solace in each other's company as comrades united by a shared passion for sport. Their exhaustion is outweighed by the enjoyment derived from healthy exercise and the thrill of hunting. As night falls upon them, weary but lucky chain men gather around campfires to recount tales of conquests while seeking respite from fatigue. In this arduous pursuit for both excitement and pecuniary gain, these brave souls navigate treacherous terrain infested with tsetse flies that threaten both man and beast alike. Through this remarkable artwork captured over a century ago, we are transported to an era where sport was not merely about competition but also about exploring uncharted territories and testing
