EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Natives Building a Rest-House" takes us back to the early 20th century in central Africa. The image was captured by an English photographer during an expedition to the Ruwenzori range of mountains, now known as the Rwenzori mountains. In this scene, we witness a group of African natives diligently constructing a rest-house for weary travelers. With their bare hands and simple tools, these skilled builders are creating a shelter using traditional methods passed down through generations. The photograph beautifully captures their meticulous workmanship as they assemble the frame with wooden poles and cover it with layers of grass thatch. The setting is one of exploration and adventure, as British explorers set up camp nearby while venturing into uncharted territories. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the daily lives of these native people who graciously lend their expertise to support such expeditions. The photo not only showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of these African tribes but also highlights the harmonious collaboration between different cultures during this era of discovery. It serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability in even the most challenging environments. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic beauty captured within its frame.
