EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A 14-Ox Span in Griqualand, Natal, South Africa (1887)". This evocative photograph captures the scene of a 14-ox span making its way through the rugged terrain of Griqualand, Natal, South Africa, in 1887. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the arduous yet essential mode of transportation during the late 19th century. The oxen, with their powerful muscles and determined expressions, pull the heavy wagon, laden with supplies and equipment. The teamster, dressed in a wide-brimmed hat and long coat, stands at the reins, expertly guiding the animals through the challenging landscape. Griqualand, located in present-day KwaZulu-Natal, was a significant area for early European settlers and explorers in South Africa. Ox wagons, drawn by teams of oxen, were the primary means of transportation for travelers and merchants, enabling them to traverse the vast and often inhospitable terrain. The use of oxen for transportation dates back to the early days of European exploration and settlement in South Africa. Oxen were preferred over horses due to their strength, endurance, and adaptability to the local conditions. They could carry heavier loads and were less susceptible to the harsh climate and diseases prevalent in the region. This photograph serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of early travelers and settlers in South Africa. It also highlights the crucial role that oxen played in the exploration, settlement, and development of the country. The oxen team, with their powerful muscles and unwavering focus, epitomize the spirit of perseverance and ingenuity that characterized the early European presence in South Africa. This image is a poignant reminder of the past, offering a unique perspective on the history of travel and transportation in this fascinating country.
