Description
-
Alternative spelling of the name: Carl Hoepfner.Höpfner did not stay exclusively in Angra Pequena on his first journey in 1882/83. He spent the first eight months in Mossamedes (Moçâmedes) on the Atlantic coast of Angola, near the present-day border between Angola and Namibia. He then travelled on to Kunene and "through the land of the Ovambo and Damara" (Globus 44, 1883, p. 254) via the Boer colony of Humpata. During this journey he apparently also came into contact with the Herero (see Globus vol. 44, 1883, p. 383.) Therefore, despite the statement in the report of the Hildesheim Museum Association that the ethnographica donated in 1884 were "all from Angra Pequena", he may have acquired objects from the Damara and Ovambo, but also from the Herero, on his journey there.
