South Africa / Namibia: 'Femme de race Bochismann' (A woman of the Khoikhoi people), Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Georges Cuvier, Paris,1815

Saartjie 'Sarah' Baartman (before 1790 – 29 December 1815) was the most famous of at least two Khoikhoi women who, due to their large buttocks (steatopygia), were exhibited as freak show attractions in 19th-century Europe under the name Hottentot Venus. 'Hottentot' was the then current name for the Khoi people, but is now considered an offensive term.
