EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "On the road, Dett to Wankie, Southern Rhodesia, 1925 (1927)", captures a remarkable moment in history. Taken by artist Thomas A Glover as part of the book "Cape to Cairo" by Stella Court Treatt and George G Harrap & Company Ltd in 1927, it immortalizes an extraordinary journey. In this image, we see a courageous female adventurer named Stella Court Treatt holding her hat while kneeling on the African soil. Dressed in attire that reflects both British influence and practicality for her expedition through Zimbabwe (formerly Southern Rhodesia), she embodies the spirit of adventure and exploration. The photograph transports us back to the early 20th century when motoring across Africa was an audacious feat. It symbolizes not only Stella's personal triumph but also represents the indomitable spirit of women breaking barriers during that era. With its monochrome aesthetic and photogravure technique, this print carries a sense of nostalgia. It serves as a testament to British imperialism at its peak while showcasing the beauty of Africa's vast landscapes. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how far humanity has come since those pioneering days. This portrait encapsulates bravery, determination, and resilience in one frame—a timeless reminder that dreams can be realized with unwavering dedication and an adventurous heart.
