EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Calabash Baby" we are transported back to the year 1925 in East Africa. The artist, Thomas A Glover, beautifully captures a moment from Stella Court Treatt's groundbreaking journey from Dodoma to Mongalla. This expedition was part of her larger adventure of becoming the first person to successfully travel by motor vehicle from Cape Town to Cairo. In the image, we see Stella herself examining a halved calabash gourd that serves as protection against the scorching African sun for a precious baby. Dressed in traditional clothing and wearing a pith helmet, she embodies both courage and motherhood as she ensures the child's safety during their exploration of this vast continent. This photograph not only showcases an incredible feat of human achievement but also highlights the importance of family and protecting our loved ones. It is a testament to the spirit of adventure and curiosity that drove explorers like Stella Court Treatt to venture into unknown territories. Through this monochrome portrait, we catch a glimpse into history - a snapshot frozen in time that reminds us of the pioneering spirit that shaped our world. As we admire this print, let us reflect on how far we have come since then while honoring those who paved the way for future generations' adventures across borders and cultures.
