EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of adventure and storytelling in early 20th century Africa. Taken by artist Thomas A Glover, it features a bearded British man known as "The Story Teller" during his journey from Livingstone to Broken Hill in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) in 1925. The image is part of the book "Cape to Cairo" written by Stella Court Treatt and her husband Major Chaplin Court Treatt. The couple successfully completed the first motor vehicle expedition from Cape Town to Cairo between 1924 and 1926, documenting their incredible journey across the African continent. In this portrait, we see a weathered face full of character, reflecting years of exploration and storytelling. The Story Teller's beard adds an air of wisdom as he gazes confidently at the camera. His presence evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when travel was still considered an extraordinary feat. This photogravure print not only showcases the spirit of adventure but also represents Britain's influence through its colonial empire during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how exploration played a crucial role in shaping our understanding of different cultures and landscapes. As we admire this remarkable piece captured almost a century ago, it transports us back to an era where journeys were filled with uncertainty yet fueled by curiosity—a testament to human resilience and our innate desire for discovery.
