Old Time Safari Photos

[Ravensview]

I am in the process of putting my den together and was thinking that some old safari pictures would be cool to add, does anyone know of sources that sell old safari photos, like the old tented camps or vehicles with outfitters names on the side?
Thanks for any info

If you have Facebook, join Robert C. Ruark’s page. The administrator is always posting cool old pics like the ones above. That’s just two of dozens he’s posted over the years.

Thanks for the lead, I am not on Facebook though

I’m thinking time period 1920’s to early 60’s, black and white, sepia tone.

Ravensview,
Maybe @Kevin Peacocke might have a something. I think he has even done a bit of a nostalgia trip using some period gear.

Crawford Fletcher-Jamieson with his H&H Royal .400/450 NE and a zebra from many moons ago. He sold this double and switched over to his now-famous .500 Jeffery bolt-action. A wrist injury made handling the double difficult.

Search for pictures of Frederick Courtney Selous, in camp with his Gibbs Farquharson single shot. One of my favorites.

Here are a few.

These are good, what I am looking for is a source of old time safari company’s camps and vehicles photos that are for sale, I would like to frame some for hanging on the wall.
Kevin some of those in black and white would look cool, I still think you need to write a book.

Just print them in sepia, you are welcome to use what you like.
I don’t know of anywhere that sells photo’s, but Melville and Moon South Africa has a good collection.

Thank You Kevin, does Melville and Moon have a website?

 

[Kevin Peacocke]

Yes, just google the name and it will come up.

Some of the pics of Osa Johnson in their zebra planes are classic - we hunted in Zambia where they emergency landed at the Royal Lake of the Croc….. - family still had alot of the pics from that day - some are in one of their books (Johnsons)

Yes, Bob. I remember him well. Very cool stuff.

As far as safari pics, I get plenty from eBay. But you have to beat me to the good ones first! ;-).
