Scenes of the Batwa people along Lake Bangweulu in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) in 1931. Published in the German book The Dark Continent: Africa, The Landscape, and The People by Hugo Adolf Bernatzik. (Dark Continent? Adolf? Oh, boy.) Anyway, you can explore the whole shebang at the New York Public Library’s digital gallery.
Fun fact: Bangweulu means “where the water sky meets the sky”.

RHINO HUNTING — An illustration depicting Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babur, founder of the Mughal Empire, hunting rhinoceros near Peshawar, from the Baburnama, pre-1530. Fun fact: Not only is Babur the great-great-great-grandson of the legendary Timur, aka Tamerlane, he’s also a descendant of the even more legendary Genghis Khan. (Well, that’s not so special. Lots and lots of people carry the Mongolian conqueror’s DNA. Khan was the ultimate baby-daddy, with the sexual appetites of Wilt Chamberlain and the feminist sensitivity of your average rapist.)
