EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "A rocky road, Abercorn to Tukuyu, Tanganyika, 1925 (1927)" takes us back in time to the early days of motor travel in Africa. Created by artist Thomas A Glover as part of the book "Cape to Cairo" by Stella Court Treatt, this image captures the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized this groundbreaking journey. In 1924-1926, Stella Court Treatt and her husband Major Chaplin Court Treatt embarked on a daring expedition from Cape Town to Cairo using motor vehicles. This print showcases one challenging leg of their epic trip through Tanzania. The rugged terrain depicted here symbolizes the difficulties they encountered along their path. The image features a male driver navigating his car through a treacherous rocky road. It serves as a metaphor for the hardships faced during this ambitious cross-continent endeavor. The slow progress made on these rough roads reflects both the determination and resilience required for such an undertaking. As we admire this monochrome scene frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when British explorers pushed boundaries and expanded horizons across the vast African continent. This print not only represents an important chapter in transportation history but also stands as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. With its evocative composition and historical significance, this artwork reminds us of how far we have come in terms of road transport while honoring those who paved the way for future generations of adventurers seeking new frontiers.
