EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of adventure and passion for the natural world embodied by Belgian traveller and film-maker Armand Denis and his first wife, Leila Roosevelt. Dating back to the late 1890s, this image offers a glimpse into the lives of these pioneering figures in the realm of wildlife documentation. Armand Denis (1872-1971) was a trailblazing explorer and film-maker who dedicated his life to capturing the beauty and complexity of the natural world on film. Born in Belgium, Denis travelled extensively throughout Africa, Asia, and South America, documenting the wildlife and landscapes he encountered along the way. His films, which often featured stunning underwater sequences, were groundbreaking in their time and continue to inspire and captivate audiences today. Leila Roosevelt (1873-1944), the daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, was an accomplished artist and writer. She accompanied her husband on many of his expeditions, serving as both his partner and muse. In this photograph, taken in the late 1890s, the couple exudes a sense of excitement and adventure, their eyes fixed on the horizon as they prepare for their next journey into the unknown. Together, Armand Denis and Leila Roosevelt represent a fascinating chapter in the history of wildlife documentation and exploration. Their pioneering work paved the way for future generations of film-makers and naturalists, and their legacy continues to inspire us to explore the wonders of the natural world.
