Elephant spores in bush country, Malawi, ca.1920

"'Elephant country’ after bush fires (Nkamanga)." Exterior view of open country where the grass has been burned, elephant droppings lie in the foreground. The image could possibly be from the Henga valley but is certainly in the vicinity of the Livingstonia station. Robert Laws (1851-1934), who founded the station in 1891as a training institution, was an authority on African wildlife and considered a crack shot. ❧ The Livingstonia mission field was established by Lieutenant E D Young and Dr Robert Laws in 1875, as a tribute to David Livingstone. The field covered an area from the western shore of Lake Nyasa into Northern Rhodesia [Zambia] and the original station at Cape Maclear moved to Bandawe in 1881.
