EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of an early 19th century British hunting expedition on the African veldt, with sportsmen in pursuit of the elusive besbok, or bontebok (Damaliscus albifrons). The image transports us back in time to an era when the thrill of the hunt was a primary motivation for exploration and colonization. The besbok, also known as the bontebok, is a medium-sized antelope native to South Africa. With its distinctive white rump and black markings, it is an iconic and beautiful species that was once hunted to near extinction. This photograph, taken from a historical archive, offers a rare glimpse into a time when hunting parties, often comprised of European explorers and settlers, roamed the African continent in search of new territories and game. The sportsmen in the photograph are dressed in the typical attire of the era, with tall hats, long rifles, and heavy boots. They are intently focused on their quarry, with one man taking aim and another signaling to the others to move forward. The veldt, or savannah, stretches out behind them, dotted with acacia trees and rolling hills. The sun casts long shadows over the landscape, adding to the sense of drama and adventure. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the complex relationship between humans and nature, as well as the role that hunting has played in shaping the history of Africa and its wildlife. It is a testament to the enduring allure of the wild and the human desire to explore and conquer new frontiers.
