EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of connection between a European settler and a tame waterbuck in East Africa during the 1910s. The settler, dressed in pith helmet and safari attire, stands confidently with one hand resting on the waterbuck's massive, curved horns. The waterbuck, with its large, expressive eyes, seems to gaze back at the man with a mixture of curiosity and trust. The image offers a glimpse into the complex relationship between European settlers and the African wildlife during the post-war era. The waterbuck, once a wild and elusive animal, had been tamed through years of interaction with humans. This tame waterbuck likely lived in a settler's compound or was kept as a pet, providing a source of companionship and entertainment for the European settlers. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the significant impact that European settlers had on the African wildlife during this period. While some settlers hunted for sport or profit, others sought to domesticate and tame animals, often with unintended consequences. The introduction of new diseases, competition for resources, and habitat destruction led to the decline of many African wildlife populations. Despite the controversial history of European settlers in Africa, this photograph offers a poignant reminder of the unique bond that could form between humans and animals, even in the most unexpected of circumstances.
