EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history, showcasing native women with baskets filled with hippo meat in the Karoo region of South Africa. Taken by artist Thomas A Glover in 1924, this image is part of the renowned book "Cape to Cairo" written by Stella Court Treatt and published by George G Harrap & Company Ltd in 1927. The photograph is a testament to the adventurous spirit and resilience of explorers during the early 20th century. It documents an extraordinary journey undertaken by Stella Court Treatt and her husband Major Chaplin Court Treatt, who successfully traveled from Cape Town to Cairo using motor vehicles. In this particular scene, we witness local women skillfully carrying baskets brimming with valuable hippo meat. The image not only showcases their resourcefulness but also highlights their connection with nature and their ability to sustain themselves within the African bush. The photo provides us with a glimpse into life during that era - a time when British explorers embarked on daring expeditions across continents, immersing themselves in different cultures while overcoming various challenges along the way. As we admire this monochrome print, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in both African history and British exploration. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experiences across borders and continents, celebrating diversity while acknowledging our interconnectedness as global citizens.
