George Stow was a Victorian man of many parts--poet, historian,
ethnographer, artist, cartographer, and prolific writer. A
geologist by profession, he became acquainted, through his work in
the field, with the extraordinary wealth of rock paintings in the
caves and shelters of the South African interior. Enchanted and
absorbed by them, Stow set out to create a record of this creative
work of the people who had tracked and marked the South African
landscape decades and centuries before him.
"Unconquerable Spirit "reveals the scope and the beauty of his
labors. Stow's paintings are more than just copies of what he found
on the rocks. They are interpretations of the art of the San,
informed by his own understanding of a particularly turbulent time
in South African history and his sense of the tragic demise of the
San way of life. This book celebrates his pioneering achievement
and reminds us, too, of the richness of the imaginative universe of
the San.
