EDITORS COMMENTS
Crossing the Chambesi River on a broken pontoon, Northern Rhodesia, 1925 (1927) captures a remarkable moment in history. This photo print, taken by Thomas A Glover, is part of the iconic book Cape to Cairo by Stella Court Treatt and George G Harrap & Company Ltd. The image showcases an extraordinary adventure undertaken by Stella Court Treatt and her husband Major Chaplin Court Treatt. In their pioneering journey from Cape Town to Cairo between 1924 and 1926, they successfully traversed the African continent using motor vehicles. In this particular scene, we witness a group of courageous men braving treacherous waters as they navigate across the Chambesi River on a damaged pontoon. The black and white monochrome adds depth to the photograph's historical significance. This print not only symbolizes human determination but also represents British exploration during the early 20th century. It highlights the resilience of these individuals who embarked on daring expeditions into uncharted territories. The image transports us back in time to an era when road transport was still in its infancy. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of transportation technology and infrastructure development. Through this powerful visual narrative, we gain insight into both geographical features and cultural landscapes that were encountered along this groundbreaking journey. The print evokes a sense of awe for those who appreciate adventure, exploration, and the rich history of Africa.
