EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, taken from Carl Hoffmann's "Book of the World" published in Stuttgart in 1849, presents an authentic and intriguing scene of African hunters in action. The image vividly portrays the intensity and focus of the hunters as they pursue their prey – a warthog (Phacochoerus africanus), a zebra (Equus quagga), and a black-backed jackal (Canis mesomelas). The hunters are armed with a diverse array of weapons, including guns, spears, and bows and arrows, reflecting the versatility and adaptability of traditional African hunting techniques. The warthog, with its distinctive tusks and powerful build, is a formidable opponent, making the hunters' determination and skill all the more impressive. The zebra, with its distinctive stripes and agility, provides a significant challenge, while the jackal, a cunning and opportunistic predator, adds an extra layer of complexity to the hunt. This image not only serves as a visual record of African hunting practices during the mid-19th century but also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and connection between humans and the natural world in Africa. The vibrant colours and intricate details of the lithograph further enhance the visual appeal and historical significance of this scene.
