Taken by artist Thomas A Glover, it depicts Errol Hinds and Julius Mapata during their journey from Livingstone to Broken Hill in Northern Rhodesia in 1925. The image is part of a collection featured in the book "Cape to Cairo" by Stella Court Treatt, which chronicles her successful motor vehicle expedition with her husband Major Chaplin Court Treatt from Cape Town to Cairo between 1924 and 1926.
