EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken by a South African photographer in the late 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness a group of European settlers returning from a shooting expedition in South Africa. The image captures the essence of an informal hunting party, with shotguns slung over shoulders and game carts filled with their quarry. The hunters proudly display their successful kills - guinea fowl and Egyptian or Spurwing geese - showcasing their prowess as skilled marksmen. The birds lay lifeless on the wagon, testaments to both the thrill of the hunt and the blood sports that were popular during that era. Amidst this scene of triumph, one cannot help but notice a sense of playfulness among the hunters. Their camaraderie is evident as they pose for this portrait, perhaps sharing stories of their adventures while relishing in their shared passion for hunting. As we gaze at this historical snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder not only of our human connection to nature but also highlights how photography can capture moments that transcend generations. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to glimpse into a past where hunting was not just about survival but also served as recreation and sport for these early settlers in South Africa.
