EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Exploration of the Kalahari Desert" takes us on a visual journey through the vast and mysterious landscapes of Africa. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the beauty and diversity of the Kalahari Desert. The image transports us to a time when exploration was at its peak, as intrepid adventurers sought to uncover hidden treasures and unravel ancient secrets. The engraving depicts members of the Kattea tribe, their vibrant clothing contrasting against the arid backdrop. They are accompanied by a guide who leads them through this harsh yet enchanting terrain. As our eyes wander across the print, we encounter various landmarks that punctuate this extraordinary landscape. Diamond Falls glisten in all their splendor while Old Kert stands stoically amidst endless sand dunes. Schermbrucker Falls cascade down rocky cliffs, providing respite from the desert's unforgiving heat. Intriguingly, we catch glimpses of Griqua Town and an old mission house nestled within this barren expanse – reminders of human presence amidst nature's grandeur. This engraving not only captures topographical details but also evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity about what lies beyond our familiar horizons. It invites us to embark on our own explorations – whether physical or metaphorical – into uncharted territories. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this artwork continues to inspire awe for both its historical significance and artistic merit. Its timeless appeal reminds us
