EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of Victoria Falls in Livingstone, Northern Rhodesia, taken in 1925 by artist Thomas A Glover. The photograph features Stella Court Treatt, an adventurous British woman who embarked on a groundbreaking journey with her husband Major Chaplin Court Treatt from Cape Town to Cairo between 1924 and 1926. In this remarkable image, Stella is seated near the cascading waterfall, wearing a stylish hat that adds a touch of elegance to the rugged African landscape. Her flowing dress reflects both her bravery and femininity as she becomes one with nature's powerful force. This snapshot encapsulates the spirit of adventure and exploration that defined early 20th-century expeditions. As part of their historic motoring expedition through Africa, Stella and Chaplin reached Victoria Falls on April 27th, 1925. Their courageous journey not only showcased their determination but also highlighted the vastness and diversity of the African continent. The photogravure technique used for this print enhances its monochrome aesthetic while preserving intricate details. It serves as a visual testament to British imperialism during that era when explorers like Stella Court Treatt ventured into uncharted territories. This print from "Cape to Cairo" authored by Stella herself in collaboration with George G Harrap & Company Ltd. , immortalizes an extraordinary moment in history when intrepid individuals pushed boundaries and expanded our understanding of geography and human capability.
