Op wat wyze de Hottentotte de Schape en het Rundvee Beware.2:de Deel Pag. 37.

I.C. Philips del.
[1727.]
Engraving with very large margins, printed on 18th century watermarked paper. Plate 292 x 176mm (11½ x 7"). Printers crease on left.
Sheep herded in and surrounded by various huts; cattle sat in an orderly fashion around the outside of the huts; Khoikhoi shepherds around. From "Naaukeurige beschryving van de kaap de Goede Hoop". Peter Kolbe (1675-1726) was sent to South Africa with a mission to provide information about the country and to do astronomical and surveying research. First published in Germany in 1719 as Caput Bonae Spei Hodiernum, the book 'professes to be a complete account of the Cape Colony and its inhabitants'. This is taken from the Dutch edition, published in Amsterdam in two volumes in 1727.
