Abstract
This chapter examines the role of classical learning and classical images in how Europeans in South Africa tried to understand and think through difference. It starts with two early writers, Johannes Gulielmus de Grevenbroek, who wrote in Latin, and Peter Kolb (also written Kolbe and Kolben), who wrote in German, and then considers early traditions of illustration and how classical models affected many early portrayals of native Africans.
