EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Antonio Sasso, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy in 1843, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Khoikhoi people, also known as the Hottentots, as they travelled with their livestock through the Korah region. The Khoikhoi were a nomadic people, known for their semi-sedentary lifestyle, which revolved around their herds of cattle. In this image, the Khoikhoi men are depicted leading their cattle, their bodies protected by shields and armed with assagays, or spears. The women and children follow behind, carrying blankets and other belongings. The intricate details of their clothing and accessories are beautifully rendered, with the men wearing animal skins and the women adorned with beads and other decorative elements. The engraving provides a vivid portrayal of the Khoikhoi people and their connection to their land and livestock. It is a testament to their resilience and adaptability in the face of the challenges of nomadic life. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Khoikhoi people, which continues to be celebrated and preserved to this day.
