Carpentry at Maseno, Nyanza province, Kenya, 1918

1918

“Two boys at the lathe.” Portrait of two boys standing at a lathe carving a block of wood at the workshop in Maseno. The CMS Station was run by the Rev. Albert Edward Pleydell. ❧ The image is from an album chronicling the war time experiences of Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) in German East Africa and Portuguese East Africa with the Royal Army Medical Corps. During this time he would meet Dr John W Arthur which in turn would lead to his missionary work at Chogoria in Kenya.
