The Manner of Ploughing at the Cape
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating glimpse into the agricultural practices of 18th-century South Africa. This exquisite engraving, part of "The Present State of the Cape of Good-Hope: vol II" published in 1731, offers an intricate portrayal of farming life during that era. With meticulous attention to detail, the German School artist skillfully captures every aspect of this scene. The image showcases native farmers diligently tending to their crops in a vast arable field. A team of oxen, yoked together with sturdy wooden equipment, pulls a plough through the earth's surface, creating perfectly furrowed lines for planting. This illustration not only provides insight into historical farming techniques but also serves as an anthropological record. It reveals how labor-intensive agriculture was at that time and highlights the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals in cultivating land. Peter Kolben's book sheds light on all facets of life at the Cape, making it an invaluable resource for understanding this period. Originally written in High German and first published in 1719, it offers readers an exact and detailed account encompassing various aspects beyond just farming. As we admire this print from a private collection today, we are transported back to a bygone era when hardworking farmers dedicated themselves to nurturing their land. Let us appreciate their resilience and acknowledge their contribution to shaping South Africa's rich agricultural heritage.
