Description
Der Hottentotten musicale instrumenten. 1. Gom-gom 2. Rommelpot (The Hottentotten musical instruments. 1. Gum-gum 2. Rommel pot). Khoikhoi musical dances are accompanied by hocket based chants and instruments such as bows, one-tone reed flutes, and drums (made from pottery and sheepskin). 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.
