EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "Natives of Gona (Angola) and Khoikhoi man and woman," is an intriguing glimpse into the diverse cultural heritage of Africa during the 19th century. The image, taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, showcases two distinct ethnic groups: the Natives of Gona from Angola and the Khoikhoi people. The Gona man, depicted on the left, is shown wearing a loincloth and carrying a bow and arrow. His body paint and adornments suggest his readiness for hunting or war. The woman, a Khoikhoi, is dressed in a beaded apron, a fur cape, and a beaded belt. She cradles a child in her arms, while holding a spear in one hand. The Khoikhoi people are indigenous to the southern African region, and are known for their distinctive customs, including their intricate beadwork and semi-nomadic lifestyle. The Natives of Gona, on the other hand, are believed to have inhabited the coastal region of Angola. Their appearance in this image underscores the rich cultural exchange that occurred between different African communities and European explorers during the 19th century. The lithograph, with its vibrant colors and meticulous detail, offers a fascinating window into the past, providing valuable insights into the customs, costumes, and history of these two distinct African peoples. Ethnography and anthropology scholars, as well as those with an interest in African history and culture, will find this image to be an invaluable addition to their collections. The intricate details and handcolored techniques used in the lithograph make it a visually stunning piece, while its historical significance adds to its value as a valuable educational resource.
