EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, titled 'Matabili, Imbusini River, November 1869' (Sketch 71), is an original drawing by the renowned Victorian explorer and artist, John Thomas Baines. Dated November 1869, this illustration offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the indigenous inhabitants of Africa during the 19th century. Baines, an Englishman born in 1820, embarked on several significant expeditions across Africa between 1859 and 1871, documenting his discoveries through meticulous sketches and watercolors. This particular sketch was created during his expedition to the Imbusini River, located in what is now KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The drawing depicts a Matabili man, an indigenous inhabitant of the region, standing proudly in front of a small hut. He is dressed in a simple yet intricately designed outfit, consisting of a loincloth, a short jacket, and a headband adorned with animal skins and feathers. The man's body paint and the ornate patterns on his clothing reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Matabili people. The Imbusini River, which flows gently in the background, adds a sense of tranquility to the scene. The lush vegetation and the clear waters mirror the abundant natural resources that would have sustained the local population. This sketch offers a unique window into the lives of the indigenous people of Africa during the Victorian era. It is a testament to Baines' remarkable talent as an artist and his dedication to documenting the world around him. The intricate details and the vivid colors bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to a moment in history that continues to fascinate and inspire us.
