A Kaffir Kraal

Active selection in cart:
A Kaffir Kraal. We here see the homes of her Majesty's subjects reduced to what seems to be their lowest expression. The low, grass-covered huts look more like the lodges of the prairie dogs than the dwellings of men. The wide stretch of country covered with its scanty growth of scrub, its monotony broken only by the little circles of the native kraals, gives a good idea of the desolate and unattractive character of vast stretches of the South African veldt. The love of adventure and the hope of wealth may reconcile men of British race to a residence in so uninviting a country; but for beauty and comfort the Shiré Highlands and portions of the Cape Colony must be sought. Photograph from The Queen's Empire (Cassell, 1899).
