[STANLEY (Sir Henry Morton)] & BRUTON (James E.)
["H.M. Stanley The African Explorer" carte de visite.]

A handsome portrait of Stanley, seated, and facing the camera. This was taken during his visit to South Africa where he was invited to attend the opening of the Bulawayo Railway.

James Bruton was an important, early photographer in South Africa. He operated a studio in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) from 1859 to 1874 and “to him history is indebted for some of the finest reproductions of the old town of Port Elizabeth” (Redgrave).
