Tanganyika Twilight - African Lions By John Seerey - Lester
Tanganyika Twilight - African Lions By John Seerey-Lester
It is 1920 on the Serengeti Plain in Tanganyika, formerly German East Africa and now Tanzania. The First World War is over and those white hunters who survived (many like Selous did not) are back to leading safaris. The experienced white hunters, who survived the War, are now coaching the new privileged breed, which sees professional hunting as an attractive easy way of life.
A new “Roar” can now be heard in the African bush, it is the arrival of the “Twenties”. The “Roaring Twenties” invades East Africa, and now with easier transportation, more and more would be hunters are setting up as professionals. This boom will transform the region dramatically between the Wars and it will never be the same again.
Earlier paintings of mine, “Distant Enemy” and “Sisters at Twilight”, were of similar settings just before the outbreak of World War One. In this painting, “Tanganyika Twilight”, we witness a similar scene, this time in post-war East Africa; proving some things never change. However, there are now two lions observing the hunter’s camp, and, once again it is twilight. A war has come and gone, but the witnesses to man’s follies remain silent observers anticipating the next phase of their evolution.
