| Summary: | “Mount Kenya. [Listed from Left to right names of peaks] Arthur’s Seat, Barlow Glacier, Point Piggot, Tyndal Glacier, Batian 17,040, Nelion. 17,000, Darwin Glacier, Point John, Lewis Glacier, J.W. Arthur.” Landscape view of range of peaks of Mount Kenya and their names. The Kikuyu Mission had been founded on a temporary site by the Imperial British East Africa Company in 1891, before moving to Kikuyu territory in 1898, under the Rev. Thomas Watson. Located on the ‘lower shamba’, the site stands 12 miles from Nairobi, at a distance of approximately 342 miles away from the coast. The Church of Scotland assumed control of the Mission in 1901. J W Arthur (1881-1952) made seven attempts to climb Mount Kenya between 1909 and 1925. ❧ "A Series of Photos illustrating Life and Work at Kikuyu. August 1926. Rev W.B. Stevenson." |
