EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Khoisan men with assagai and ax protecting women and child from a tiger" showcases a remarkable scene of bravery and protection. In this image, captured by Richard Newton in the late 18th century, we witness the extraordinary courage of Khoisan men as they shield their loved ones from an unexpected threat. Set against the backdrop of a traditional village in South Africa, these brave warriors stand tall with their assagais (spears) and axes ready to defend their community. The presence of a tiger, not native to South Africa, adds an element of danger that heightens the intensity of the moment. Newton's intricate copperplate engraving skillfully portrays the strength and determination etched on each man's face. Their swift movements reveal years of honed skills passed down through generations. Meanwhile, women clutch onto their children tightly, seeking solace amidst chaos. This powerful image captures both the resilience and unity within Khoisan society during challenging times. It serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment to protect those dear to them against any adversity that may arise. Through this historical artwork preserved by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness an awe-inspiring display of heroism rooted in tradition and love for family – reminding us all that courage knows no bounds when it comes to safeguarding what matters most.
