Product Description
Product Description
In "Kenya" extraordinary photographs, along with extensive captions, document the transition from a barely explored paradise to a modern nation. This stunning collection of 720 photographs, many of them drawn from archives and scrapbooks, is one of the most important visual records of Africa in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries ever published. Early photographers captured the beauty and dangerous allure of life on this spectacular frontier: the ceremonies and traditional attire of the Kenyan peoples, the gradual development of trade on the coast and in the country's interior, the hardships of the East African Campaign during the First World War, and the pioneering spirit of early European settlers and farmers. Many of the most famous names and places connected with Africa appear in these pages, including Karen Blixen's farm and Ernest Hemingway and Theodore Roosevelt on safari.
