EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Caffre Woman, South Africa, Nursing a Baby," is an enchanting image from Ebenezer Sibly's Universal System of Natural History, published in 1794-1796. Sibly, a prolific natural historian, compiled this comprehensive work in five volumes, covering the three natural worlds of fauna, flora, and geology. The illustration depicts a Caffre woman, a native of South Africa, tenderly nursing her baby. The woman's expression is serene, and her dark, expressive eyes convey a deep sense of love and connection. The intricate details of her traditional attire, adorned with beads and intricate patterns, add to the richness of the image. The baby, nestled against her chest, gazes up at her with innocent curiosity. The engraving is a testament to the artistic skill and attention to detail of the time. The use of hand-coloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, bringing the scene to life. The artist, Johann Ihle, expertly captured the warmth and intimacy of the moment between mother and child. This image offers a glimpse into the lives of the people of South Africa during the late 18th century. It is a poignant reminder of the universal bond between mother and child, transcending time and place. The historical significance of this engraving lies not only in its beautiful aesthetic qualities but also in its role as a record of a moment in history, preserving a snapshot of life in South Africa during this time period.
