EDITORS COMMENTS
Francois Le Vaillant's Camp at Heere, Verloore Valley (Northwest of Piketberg), Western Cape, South Africa, is depicted in this beautiful hand-colored copperplate engraving by Dell Acqua, published in Giovanni Battista Sonzogno's "Raccolta de Viaggi Piu Interessanti" (Collection of the Most Interesting Voyages) in Milan between 1815 and 1817. The image showcases the French explorer's camp, with his distinctive red and white striped tent at the center, surrounded by his supplies and a wagon. Le Vaillant, known for his extensive travels in Africa, is shown standing near his tent, likely planning his next move. The Verloore Valley, located northwest of Piketberg in the Western Cape, offers a picturesque backdrop with its lush greenery and rolling hills. This image offers a glimpse into the life of a 19th-century African explorer and the challenges and beauty of the landscape he encountered on his journey.
