EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century in Africa, showcasing a remarkable scene of Khoisan natives skillfully riding pack oxen. The image, originally published in Keith Johnston's book "Africa" in 1884, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and daily life of these indigenous people. The Khoisan, also known as Khoe San, were one of the earliest inhabitants of southern Africa, and their unique way of life is beautifully captured in this illustration by Ken Welsh. Mounted on sturdy pack oxen, the natives navigate through vast African landscapes with confidence and grace. The composition exudes a sense of harmony between man and beast as they traverse rugged terrains together. It serves as a testament to the deep bond forged between these resourceful individuals and their trusted animal companions. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print invites us to reflect on the resilience and adaptability displayed by native communities throughout history. It reminds us that despite facing numerous challenges imposed by colonialism and modernization over time, indigenous cultures have managed to preserve their traditions while embracing change. As we admire this historical snapshot frozen in time, let it serve as an inspiration for appreciation towards diverse cultures worldwide. May it encourage dialogue about our shared humanity while fostering respect for those who have shaped our world before us.
