EDITORS COMMENTS
Vol II Gonqui Hottentots of the Cape?, c1820-39. Creator: Gallo Gallina (1796-1874) This photo print, titled 'Vol II Gonqui Hottentots of the Cape?', takes us back to a time when cultures and customs were being discovered and documented. Created by Gallo Gallina in the early 19th century, this colour lithograph is part of Giulio Ferrario's collection on Costumi dei. . . [respective countries/areas], published in the 1820s/30s. The image showcases two individuals from the Khoikhoi/Koi tribe, known as Hottentots during that era. The artist highlights their distinct physical features - lighter skin tone compared to other Hottentots, less flat noses, and taller stature. Both figures are adorned with ornate jewellery and traditional dress, showcasing their rich cultural heritage. Intricate patterns decorate their garments while they hold weapons like bows for hunting purposes. The landscape behind them hints at their settlements in South Africa, where these indigenous people have thrived for centuries. This photograph offers a glimpse into an era marked by colonialism and exoticism. It serves as a valuable anthropological artifact that allows us to study the diverse cultures that existed before modern times.
