The establishment of a settlement at the Cape of Good Hope in the
seventeenth century and an expansion of the sphere of colonial
influence in the eighteenth century made South Africa the only part
of sub-Saharan Africa where Europeans could travel with relative
ease deep into the interior. As a result individuals with
scientific interests in Africa came to the Cape. This book examines
writings and drawings of scientifically educated travellers,
particularly in the field of ethnography, against the background of
commercial and administrative discourses on the Cape. It is argued
that the scientific travellers benefited more from their
relationship with the colonial order than the other way around.
