Description
Hoe zy de jonge stieren en oude bullen snyden (How they sniffed (castrating?) the young bulls and old bulls). Peter Kolbe (1675-1726) was a Dutch astronomer and naturalist. He is best remembered for his publication Naauwkeurige beschryving van de Kaap de Goede Hoop. He was appointed as the first official astronomer in South Africa and worked at the Cape between 1705-13, providing a detailed account of day-to-day life at the Cape, also describing the geography, climate, flora and fauna, followed by an accurate study of the Hottentots (Khoikhoi), covering their language, religion, lifestyle and customs. Cropped, original sized image appeared in Naauwkeurige beschryving van de Kaap de Goede Hoop by Peter Kolbe, 1727.
