EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the untamed landscapes of a 19th-century South African colony. The scene depicts a group of European hunters, weary from their pursuit, gathered around a crackling campfire. Their faces bear signs of exhaustion and satisfaction as they enjoy a moment of respite amidst the vast veldt. The unknown creator skillfully captures the essence of this hunting expedition - an occupation that defined many settlers' lives during this era. The image showcases not only the physical exertion involved but also the camaraderie forged through shared experiences in these remote corners of the continent. As we observe these men in their relaxed state, it is impossible not to be drawn into their world. The presence of a buck's skull nearby serves as both testament to their success and reminder of nature's power. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in South Africa's history. It reminds us that while progress has brought changes to our relationship with nature and wildlife conservation efforts have evolved since then, there is still much we can learn from those who came before us. This remarkable piece from "Illustrated Travels" by H. W. Bates offers us glimpses into forgotten moments and allows us to appreciate both the beauty and challenges faced by early explorers on this extraordinary continent.
