When Animals Were People - Bert Woodhouse

When Animals Were People - Bert Woodhouse
A - Z of animals of Southern Africa as the Bushmen saw and thought them and as the camera sees them today

In this book Bert Woodhouse (H.C. Woodhouse) has combined the Bushman folklore about animals and their pictorial records on the rocks with photographs of actual animals for comparison. In doing so, he has drawn upon his collection of some 30 000 slides accumulated over more than twenty-five years of pursuing a hobby which brings together his interest in mountain- walking, archaeology, anthropology, art and photography.

Bert Woodhouse is a Chartered Secretary by profession and he sees art on the rocks as an important part of man's continuing effort to communicate and to keep records the data base of the past but with beauty as a bonus. He recently retired from the position of Group Development Manager of the Murray and Roberts Group of Companies and will now devote his full time to the hobby which has already produced Art on the rocks (with D,N, Lee), Archaeology in Southern Africa, Rock Art (Pride of S A Series) and Bushman Art of Southern Africa, in addition to dozens of scientific and popular articles.
