Description: | Illustration from John Augustine Waller's 'A Voyage to the West Indies.' It depicts the Chief of an ethnic group of southern Africa ? called by the European colonists 'Bosjesmans' or 'Bushmen' - visiting the Governor of Paramaribo (in Surinam). The 'Bushmen' (now often called 'San') fascinated the British colonisers of South Africa because they appeared to have an ancient, 'stone age' lifestyle, living by hunting and gathering rather than farming. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Sir Richard Phillips & Co | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Waller, John Augustine | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
