| Author: |
William Burchell |
| Year: |
1812 |
| Description: |
Depiction of a rhino hunt by William Burchell in 1812. This aquatint illustrates a scene which he describes in detail in chapter 2 of vol 2 of his "Travels in the interior of Southern Africa", first published in 1822 but reprinted several times. It is on pp 71 - 79 of the 1822 edition. <br>For some reason his rhino hunt illustration was never used in his book. The original was sold to the Library of Parliament in 1928 by his great-grandnephew Mr L L Burchell of Cape Town.
