Masai kraal and occupants, Kikuyu, Kenya, ca.1901

"Masais & Kraal." Group portrait of Masai adults and children inside a kraal made from wattle and mud, brushwood has been placed along the outer wall. The kraal is situated near the Church of Scotland mission at Kikuyu. This image is from a collection of photographs which possibly belonged to Dr Karl Uffman. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, joined the Kikuyu mission, from 1901 to 1905, and was the son of Dr Henry Uffman who ran the Leprosy Asylum in Purulia, West Bengal.
