EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1919 in Nakuru, East Africa, showcases a settler woman gently cradling a young cheetah cub in her arms. The scene is set against the backdrop of the rugged African terrain, with the sun casting a warm glow over the landscape. The settler, dressed in a long, flowing white dress, exudes a sense of tranquility and wonder as she interacts with the wild animal. The 1910s were a time of post-war exploration and settlement in Africa, as European powers sought to expand their territories and establish colonies. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the early settlers and their interactions with the indigenous wildlife. The cheetah cub, with its spotted coat and curious expression, gazes up at its human companion, creating a moment of connection between man and beast. Despite the vast differences in size and species, the settler's tender touch and the cub's trusting demeanor suggest a mutual respect and understanding. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the complex relationship between humans and animals in the African wilderness during the early 20th century.
