EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during a journey across the Sahara circa 1927. Three natives are skillfully tying a gazelle carcass for transportation, showcasing their resourcefulness and expertise in handling precious cargo. The white man observing the scene could very well be Lt D.R.G. Cameron of the Royal Scots, who led this expedition into uncharted territories.
The caption reveals that the gazelle being transported is a Dama's Gazelle, a new subspecies discovered during this groundbreaking journey. This discovery adds an exciting layer to the historical significance of this photograph, shedding light on the exploration and documentation of wildlife in remote regions.
The image exudes a sense of adventure and cultural exchange as different worlds collide in this desert landscape. The intricate details captured by Holt’s Battlefields Collection offer viewers a glimpse into a bygone era where survival skills and cooperation were paramount for traversing harsh environments.
As we gaze upon this real and unattributed snapshot from history, we are reminded of the resilience and ingenuity displayed by those who dared to venture into unknown territories in pursuit of knowledge and discovery.
