EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique and comical encounter between a Chacma baboon and a Black man in South Africa. The image, taken by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the mischievous nature of these intelligent creatures. According to German naturalist Peter Kolbe, who documented this incident, the Chacma baboon is known for its cunning behavior of stealing food from humans. In this particular scene, the baboon can be seen teasing the Black man by snatching his own food and playfully offering it back to him. The handcoloured copperplate engraving adds depth and vibrancy to the illustration found in Reverend Thomas Smith's book "The Naturalists Cabinet".
