"Klaas Baster Camp" is an illustration from the travel account "Voyages de M. le Vaillant dans l'Interieur de l'Afrique par le Cap de Bonne Esperance 1780-85," which documents the explorations of French naturalist and explorer François Le Vaillant in southern Africa. Engraved by Hulk and published in 1790, this work is part of a larger collection that provides a detailed record of Le Vaillant's observations and experiences during his journey through the interior regions of Africa, particularly near the Cape of Good Hope.

François Le Vaillant was known for his contributions to ornithology and for his vivid descriptions of the landscapes, peoples, and wildlife he encountered. His works were among the earliest to offer European audiences a glimpse into the African continent's interior, challenging existing perceptions and providing a rich source of information for future explorers and scholars.

The illustration "Klaas Baster Camp" captures a scene from Le Vaillant's travels, likely depicting an encampment of the Khoikhoi people, who were often referred to by the now-considered derogatory term "Baster" during the colonial period. The term was historically used to describe individuals of mixed descent in southern Africa. The image serves as a visual representation of the cultural and social interactions that Le Vaillant experienced and is significant for its ethnographic and historical value.

As an important piece of late 18th-century travel literature, "Voyages de M. le Vaillant dans l'Interieur de l'Afrique par le Cap de Bonne Esperance 1780-85" and its illustrations like "Klaas Baster Camp" contribute to our understanding of early European exploration in Africa and the beginnings of anthropological and natural history illustration.
