Abstract
COLONEL MARCUSWELL MAXWELL, who died suddenly in a Nairobi nursing home on April 21, was one of the most successful photographers of wild life in East Africa, his photographs of lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinoceroses and other big game being some of the best ever taken, while his photographic studies of the eastern gorilla have never been surpassed. He shared with his namesake, Marius Maxwell, the distinction of being not only a photographer but also a photographic artist in that nearly every exposure he made was a picture.
