EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch, titled "Hunting game with stake nets at Magoondas hills. September 1870," is an original drawing by the renowned Victorian artist and explorer, Thomas Baines. The image captures a group of Mashona inhabitants of Zimbabwe engaged in a communal hunting practice using stake nets. The landscape of Magoonda hills serves as the backdrop to this intriguing scene, with its undulating hills and verdant vegetation. Thomas Baines (1820-1875), a prolific artist and explorer, documented his travels extensively through his sketches and watercolors. His collection, spanning the years 1859 to 1871, offers a unique insight into the lives of the indigenous people he encountered during his expeditions. In this particular sketch, the Mashona hunters are depicted meticulously setting up their stake nets, a traditional hunting method used to capture antelope and other game animals. The hunters work together, each contributing to the intricate and labor-intensive process. The use of stake nets required careful planning and coordination, making it a communal activity that brought the tribe closer together. The anthropological significance of this sketch lies in its portrayal of the Mashona people's hunting practices and their deep connection to the land. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life and customs of these indigenous inhabitants during the 19th century, providing valuable context for the study of African history and culture. Baines' skilled hand and keen eye for detail are evident in the intricate rendering of the landscape, the hunters, and their equipment. The sketch invites viewers to witness a moment in time, frozen in history, and to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of the Mashona people.
