By birth a Warwickshireman, Stow emigrated to South Africa at the age of twenty-one, and spent his life in the Eastern Province of the Cape Colony, in Griqualand West, and in the Orange Free State. His travels, undertaken chiefly for the purpose of trading or of geological survey, led him into places where rock-engravings and rock-paintings abounded, and his interest in the Bushmen led him to copy the most striking figures or groups he found on the rocks."
