EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Stuck in the Mud, Bulawayo to Dett, Southern Rhodesia" captures a moment of struggle and determination during an extraordinary journey. Taken by artist Thomas A Glover, this image is part of the book "Cape to Cairo" written by Stella Court Treatt in 1927. The photograph transports us back to a time when road travel was arduous and unpredictable. In 1924-1926, Stella Court Treatt and her husband Major Chaplin Court Treatt embarked on an ambitious adventure - driving from Cape Town to Cairo. This particular section of their journey between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls proved exceptionally challenging due to heavy rains that transformed the roads into treacherous mud. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness men valiantly attempting to navigate through the muddy terrain using ropes attached to their vehicle. The perseverance etched on their faces reflects the spirit of exploration that characterized this era. It took them four grueling months to traverse approximately 400 miles – a testament to their unwavering determination. This image serves as a metaphor for resilience against adversity; it symbolizes the indomitable human spirit pushing forward despite overwhelming obstacles. As we gaze upon this scene from nearly a century ago, we are reminded of the hardships faced by those who paved the way for modern transportation across Africa's vast landscapes. Through its monochrome beauty and historical significance, this print offers us a glimpse into an era defined by daring expeditions and tireless efforts towards progress.
