Framed Print of Bringing ivory to the waggons in South Africa, 1868. Creator: Unknown
Bringing ivory to the waggons in South Africa, 1868. Engraving of a sketch by Thomas Baines. Mr. James Chapman... who is acknowledged to be, next to Dr. Livingstone, the greatest of South African travellers, has recently given to the world his narrative of fifteen years adventures and labours in the wilderness, forming two very handsome volumes, published by Messrs. Bell and Daldy. They are not less interesting, while they are more comprehensive in their range of geographical and scientific information, than the volume of Mr. Baines, which appeared in 1864, before his return to England. Mr. Chapman is a famous elephant-hunter, and the hope of procuring tusks of ivory, not only by the use of his own rifle, but also by dealings with the native tribes, was one of the motives of his expeditions into the interior of South Africa. In this object he was frequently most successful, and the scene represented in our Illustration, which occurred while Mr. Baines was in his company, shows the arrival of a rich freight of the precious commodity at the waggons of the travelling party. We must refer to Mr. Chapman's book, and to that of Mr. Baines, which goes over the same ground, far a more particular description of life in the South African wilds'.
