EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Ebenezer Sibly's Universal System of Natural History published in 1794, offers a glimpse into the traditional attire and tools of a Khoisan man from South Africa. The Khoisan people, also known as the Hottentots, are an ethnolinguistic group indigenous to southern Africa, and have a rich cultural heritage that dates back thousands of years. The man in the image is depicted wearing an animal skin, likely from a antelope or other large game, which served as both clothing and protection against the elements. The intricately beaded necklace around his neck is a symbol of his status and identity, adorned with a variety of colors and shapes. A loincloth made of animal hide covers his lower body, leaving his legs exposed for mobility. In his hands, he holds a bow and arrow, tools essential for hunting and survival in the African wilderness. The Khoisan people were skilled hunters, and their knowledge of the land and its wildlife was passed down through generations. This engraving, created by the skilled hand of Johann Ihle, provides a historical record of the Khoisan people and their way of life during the late 18th century. The Universal System of Natural History, published by Ebenezer Sibly, was a comprehensive work that covered the natural world in three distinct volumes: fauna, flora, and geology. This image is a testament to the accuracy and detail of Sibly's work, and serves as an important reminder of the cultural and historical significance of the Khoisan people in South African history.
