I'm in the process of putting the prints (reproductions) on our website - and in the catalouge sent 'fresh' from South Africa have some across a set entitle "Kaffirs Illustrated".......after doing some research this is indeed what George Angas entitled his drawings back in 1849.........
Problem is this.........."Kaffir" is now seen as a VERY derogetory (sp) name along the lines of the "N" word for blacks in South Africa..........and some of our 'target' customers are probably if not from SA, will know what 'kaffir' means.
Do we include those prints on our website - with the name (they're really nice "African" pictures actually) or exclude at the risk of offending????
