Summary

Pictured is a group of six Africans, each holding baskets on his/her head. This image was taken near Kisumu, British East Africa. This image is part of a collection taken during the Paul J. Rainey Expedition to British East Africa. Following the conclusion of the Smithsonian-Roosevelt Expedition, Rainey asked Edmund Heller, a Smithsonian naturalist, to assist on an expedition to British East Africa. Important localities visited included the Mombasa region, the Loiti Plains, Nairobi and vicinity, Fort Hall, Mount Kenia and vicinity, Mount Uaragess and vicinity and the Kavirando Bay region of Lake Victoria. Heller also made a trip independent of the expedition to Mount Lololokwi.
