"A Bosjeman a Bosjeswoman a Booshuana Woman a Booshuana Man: Four Head and Shoulder Vignettes" is a series of aquatint engravings by the English artist Samuel Daniell (1775–1811). Created in the early 19th century, these works are notable for their ethnographic significance and artistic merit, offering a visual record of the indigenous peoples of southern Africa during the period of British exploration and colonial expansion.

Samuel Daniell, an artist known for his detailed and sympathetic portrayals of wildlife and native peoples, embarked on an expedition to the Cape Colony and surrounding regions in 1799. During his travels, he documented the landscapes, flora, fauna, and inhabitants he encountered, with a particular focus on the Khoikhoi and San peoples, historically referred to as Hottentots and Bushmen, respectively, as well as the Tswana people, referred to at the time as Booshuanas.

The four vignettes are characterized by their attention to the physical features, cultural attire, and adornments of the subjects, reflecting the artist's intent to capture the diversity and uniqueness of the indigenous populations. Daniell's work is considered an important contribution to the visual anthropology of southern Africa, providing insights into the lives and appearances of individuals who were often marginalized or misunderstood by European observers.

These engravings were part of a larger body of work that Samuel Daniell produced upon his return to England, which was published in a volume titled "African Scenery and Animals" in 1804–1805. The collection was well-received for its accuracy and artistry, and it contributed to the European understanding of southern African peoples and environments during the early 19th century.

The "A Bosjeman a Bosjeswoman a Booshuana Woman a Booshuana Man" series is not only significant for its artistic value but also as a historical record. The images remain a subject of study for those interested in the history of colonialism, ethnography, and the representation of indigenous peoples in art. As with many works of this era, contemporary perspectives also critically assess the context in which these images were produced and the implications of the colonial gaze.

Today, the engravings are held in various collections and continue to be exhibited and discussed within the framework of postcolonial studies and the history of art. They serve as a reminder of the complex interplay between art, exploration, and empire, and the ways in which visual culture can inform and shape our understanding of the past.
