"Major Sir William Cornwallis Harris (2 April 1807 - 9 October 1848) was an English military engineer, artist and hunter. In June 1836, Harris arrived at Cape Town. From the Cape, he arranged a hunting trip, which was to last from 1836 to 1837, to the Western Transvaal and Magaliesberg. Harris was one of the more notable of the early Victorian travelers, and his illustrations of the large African fauna were the first to have any claim to accuracy".
