EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history. Taken in 1925 during the first successful motor vehicle journey from Cape Town to Cairo, it showcases Major Chaplin Court Treatt interacting with a majestic leopard named Abercorn. The photograph was captured by Thomas A Glover and featured in the book "Cape to Cairo" written by Stella Court Treatt. In this image, we see Major Chaplin Court Treatt squatting down next to the docile leopard, demonstrating an extraordinary bond between man and animal. It is a testament to the adventurous spirit of exploration that characterized this groundbreaking expedition through Africa. The photograph not only highlights the beauty of Tanganyika's wildlife but also symbolizes British influence on the African continent during that era. This unique encounter between man and feline represents both courage and curiosity as they ventured into uncharted territories. With its monochrome aesthetic, this print evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when travel was more arduous yet filled with wonder and discovery. It serves as a reminder of the incredible achievements made by individuals like Stella Court Treatt and her husband, who pushed boundaries and paved new paths across vast landscapes. As we gaze upon this stunning portrait frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where adventure awaited at every turn, showcasing humanity's innate connection with nature even amidst unfamiliar surroundings.
