EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photo print, we see Mr and Mrs Fred Ritchie tending to a nine-day-old calf outside their picturesque two-storey farmhouse. The couple, originally from Cambridge, moved to Kenya in 1949 and within just one year, Mr Ritchie had built this beautiful home on their new farm. His wife Wynne, a former teacher, has been instrumental in adding her personal touch to the interior decoration. Captured during the vibrant 1950s era, this image showcases the simplicity of life for these dedicated farmers. With a bottle in hand, Mr Ritchie carefully feeds the young calf while his wife looks on with affectionate amusement. Their genuine love for animals is evident as they nurture and care for their livestock. This photograph not only highlights the living conditions of white Europeans in Kenya during that time but also offers a glimpse into the lighter side of farming life. The juxtaposition of formal attire against rural surroundings adds an element of humor to this heartwarming scene. Preserved by Topography's lens, this snapshot encapsulates both nostalgia for a bygone era and admiration for those who worked tirelessly to build their dreams amidst nature's beauty.
