EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "My house in camp on the Guaso Nyiro" takes us back to a time of adventure and exploration. Captured in 1908 by Francis Arthur Dickinson, this image showcases a humble yet intriguing dwelling nestled amidst the breathtaking landscape of Kenya's Guaso Nyiro region. The photograph transports us to an era when Big Game Shooting on the Equator was not only a popular pastime but also an opportunity for intrepid individuals like Dickinson to document their experiences. The composition highlights the contrast between man-made structures and nature's raw beauty, as the hut stands against a backdrop of vast plains and distant hills. As we examine this image closely, we notice two figures standing outside the house - one male, presumably author Francis Arthur Dickinson himself, and another female companion. Their presence adds depth to our understanding of life in this remote location. Additionally, our gaze is drawn towards a skull placed prominently at the entrance of the hut, hinting at encounters with wildlife that were likely part of everyday life here. This evocative photograph captures both the allure and challenges faced by those who ventured into uncharted territories during this period. It serves as a testament to human resilience while offering us glimpses into an Africa that has since evolved but still retains its timeless charm.
