EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Korah Hottentots of the Cape, c. 1820s/30s" takes us back in time to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of South Africa's indigenous people. The image, captured through a colour litho technique by an anonymous Italian artist from that era, showcases a group of Korah Hottentots adorned in their traditional attire. The vibrant landscape serves as a backdrop for this ethnographic scene, with its rolling hills and lush vegetation adding depth to the composition. The figures stand proudly, each wearing distinctive clothing that reflects their unique identity within the Khoekhoe community. Intriguingly, two dogs accompany them on this journey, highlighting their close bond with nature and animals. Spears and bows can be seen held firmly in their hands - symbols of strength and protection passed down through generations. The headdresses worn by some members of the group are particularly eye-catching; they feature intricate designs that speak volumes about their cultural significance. A walking stick or cane is also present among these individuals, perhaps indicating leadership or wisdom within the community. This illustration was originally part of Giulio Ferrario's publication "Costumi dei. . . Vol II Pl. 54" which aimed to document various cultures around the world during that period. Overall, this print provides us with an invaluable window into history - one filled with diversity, tradition, and pride among South Africa's indigenous peoples.
