EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken by artist Thomas A. Glover, we are transported back to the early 20th century in Rhodesia. The image captures a moment of leisure and entertainment as two individuals sit side by side, engrossed in the enchanting melodies emanating from a gramophone. The setting is Bulawayo to Dett, an African location that adds an air of exoticism to the scene. The subjects of the photo are Stella Court Treatt and her husband Major Chaplin Court Treatt, who embarked on a groundbreaking journey from Cape Town to Cairo in their motor vehicle between 1924 and 1926. This print is part of Stella's account titled "Cape to Cairo" which chronicles their remarkable adventure across Africa. Both Stella and Chaplin can be seen smiling with joy as they immerse themselves in the music pouring out from the gramophone. Their contentment reflects not only their love for music but also their appreciation for moments of relaxation amidst their daring expedition through untamed lands. This photograph beautifully encapsulates a sense of exploration, cultural exchange, and enjoyment within the British Empire during this era. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and resilience while offering us a glimpse into life during one of history's most fascinating journeys across continents.
