EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Sport in South Africa" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a vivid illustration of life and adventure on the African continent. The image, originally published in The Graphic on March 21,1891, offers a glimpse into the rich sporting culture that existed during this time. The scene unfolds amidst the vastness of the South African veldt, with riders galloping through the grassy plains. Astonishment fills their faces as they realize they are surrounded by an array of wildlife animals such as wildebeest and other species native to this land. Stunted thorn trees dotting the landscape add an authentic touch to this depiction of South Africa's unique climate and terrain. The print captures not only the thrill of horseback riding but also highlights how sport served as a means for people from different parts of Europe, including England and Germany, to connect with each other while exploring distant lands. It reflects both cultural exchange and admiration for South Africa's natural resources. As we absorb this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of how sports can transcend borders and bring people together in unexpected ways. Whether it be through field sports or simply embarking on a journey across unfamiliar territories, sportswomen and sportsmen have always found joy in exploring new horizons while embracing nature's wonders.
