EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Young Malays catching Locusts in South Africa, a Scene at the Harbour Board enclosure at Port Elizabeth" takes us back to a bustling street scene in 1901. The artist, Frederic de Haenen, beautifully captures the energy and determination of these young Malays as they engage in an unusual task - catching locusts. Set within the Harbor Board enclosure at Port Elizabeth, this print offers a glimpse into daily life during that era. The composition is filled with intricate details; from the vibrant colors of traditional clothing worn by the Malays to their agile movements as they chase after these elusive insects. It's evident that this activity was not only essential for survival but also served as a form of entertainment for both locals and visitors alike. The Graphic magazine published this illustration on June 15th, 1901, showcasing its significance during that time period. This lithograph serves as a historical document capturing an important aspect of South African culture and highlighting how communities came together to combat natural challenges like locust infestations. Preserved in private collection today, this engraving continues to evoke curiosity and admiration for its portrayal of everyday life over a century ago. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection further emphasizes its artistic value and contribution to our understanding of history. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand the resourcefulness and resilience displayed by these young Malays amidst their picturesque surroundings at Port Elizabeth's harbor board enclosure.
