EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the pomp and circumstance of English colonial rule in Kenya during the 1930s, as embodied by District Commissioner G.B. Rimmington of Baringo County. Dressed in his full imperial uniform, complete with pith helmet and an impressive array of military medals, Rimmington exudes an air of authority and unwavering commitment to the British Empire. The colonial district commissioner system was established in Kenya in the late 19th century, with the primary role of maintaining law and order, administering local government, and promoting economic development in the colonies. Rimmington, with his stern expression and imposing presence, epitomizes the imperial ideology of the time, which held that the British were destined to rule over their African subjects in the name of civilization and progress. The photograph was taken in 1934, a period of intense imperial expansion and consolidation in East Africa, and serves as a powerful reminder of the complex and often contentious history of colonialism in Kenya and beyond.
