EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 51 and 52 from the illustrious work of Captain (later Sir) William Cornwallis Harris, an esteemed officer in the Indian Army and a celebrated naturalist, showcase an enthralling scene of hunting at Meritsane during the Victorian era. Harris, born in 1807, embarked on a remarkable journey through South Africa and published his findings in an exquisite collection of watercolors, titled "Notes on the Zoology of Ceylon," in 1838. In this illustration, we observe a group of hunters, dressed in the typical attire of the 19th century, engaged in a thrilling pursuit of game in the lush, untouched wilderness of Meritsane. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the watercolor painting bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to an era of adventure and exploration. The hunters, with their rifles at the ready, are in hot pursuit of their quarry, a majestic antelope, its graceful form contrasting sharply with the raw energy and determination of the hunters. The natural beauty of the landscape is on full display, with dense foliage, towering trees, and a crystal-clear river providing the perfect backdrop to this exhilarating moment. This stunning plate, a testament to Harris' exceptional talent as an artist and naturalist, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing us with a fascinating insight into the world of Victorian-era hunting and the breathtaking natural beauty of Meritsane.
