EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Some Hunting Notes in South Africa" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of adventure and wildlife. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a scene from an article published in The Graphic on June 7th, 1884. In this vivid depiction, we witness a thrilling hunt unfolding amidst the untamed beauty of South Africa's wilderness. A bay horse gracefully carries its rider through the rugged terrain as they pursue their prey with determination. Wildebeests and sassabis roam freely while black rhinoceroses and giraffes stand tall against the horizon. The image captures not only the thrill of hunting but also highlights aspects such as teamwork and perseverance. We see laborers at the main camp who have contributed to this expedition's success. Their hard work is rewarded when hunters engage in close-quarters stalking for that perfect shot. As we admire this historical artwork preserved within a private collection, it serves as a reminder of our fascination with nature's raw power and mankind's desire to conquer it. This engraving transports us back to an era where exploration was paramount and capturing these moments on paper allowed others to experience them vicariously. Bridgeman Images has brought forth this remarkable piece from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection without any commercial intent or purpose mentioned here. It stands solely as an artistic representation that celebrates both wildlife and human endeavor in South Africa during that time period.
