EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the traditional attire and distinctive features of a Hottentot Man and Woman from the southern region of Africa, specifically north of the Cape of Good Hope. The Hottentot people, now recognized as the Khoikhoi (or Khoi) people, are an essential historical division of the Khoisan ethnic group, the indigenous people of southwestern Africa. They are closely related to the San Bushmen. This image is taken from a book of national types and costumes, published in the early 19th century, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past. The man is dressed in an animal skin loincloth, adorned with a necklace and anklets made from animal bones and shells. His body is painted with intricate designs, which were believed to have protective and spiritual significance. The woman, on the other hand, wears a simple yet elegant outfit, consisting of a short skirt made from the skins of antelope or other animals, and a beaded apron. Her hair is styled in intricate braids, and she wears a series of necklaces, bracelets, and anklets, all made from various materials such as beads, shells, and animal bones. This photograph offers a unique insight into the traditional clothing and customs of the Khoikhoi people, providing a valuable record of their rich cultural heritage. The image is a testament to the diversity and complexity of African history and the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique traditions and customs of different communities.
