Description
"Eine Herde "Bunter Böcke."" ("A herd of bonteboks."). The picture shows a herd of nine bonteboks with white rumps, white bellies and feet grazing on a pasture which is surrounded by fences. Trees in the background. Imprinted on the image but very difficult to read since the imprint is retouched with dark color: "Bonte Bok. 8 Months. Ratel River. 1727."
The Ratel River rises to the west of Elim and flows into the sea east of Quoin Point.
