"Portraits of Game and Wild Animals of Southern Africa, Delineated from Life in Their Native Haunts, During a Hunting Expedition from the Cape Colony as Far as the Tropic of Capricorn, in 1836 and 1837, With Sketches of the Field Sports" is a seminal work by Sir William Cornwallis Harris, an English military engineer, artist, and hunter. First published in 1840, this illustrated book provides a vivid account of Harris's hunting expedition across the southern African landscape, offering insights into the region's wildlife and the colonial hunting practices of the time.

The book is notable for its detailed and vibrant illustrations of the game and wild animals encountered by Harris, which he drew from life during his travels. These illustrations were some of the first to present the wildlife of southern Africa to a European audience and are considered important for their artistic value as well as their contribution to natural history.

Harris's narrative not only describes his hunting adventures and the techniques used but also provides observations on the habitats and behaviors of various species, many of which were little known to Europeans at the time. His work thus serves as a historical record of the fauna in southern Africa during the early 19th century, a period when the impact of European settlement and hunting on the continent's ecosystems was beginning to intensify.

The full title of the book reflects the grandiose and descriptive style of the era, and the content offers a unique perspective on the intersection of natural history, art, and colonial sporting culture. "Portraits of Game and Wild Animals of Southern Africa" remains a significant text for those interested in the history of wildlife illustration, African game animals, and the colonial history of southern Africa.
