Description: In 1935 Donald Bain attempted to secure live specimens for his Live Bushmen Display at the 1936 Empire Exhibition in Johannesburg and Durban. Bain persuaded 77 San men, women and children to accompany him under the auspices that their active involvement might encourage the government to give back the San's ancestral land. When they returned from the Empire Exhibition they discovered their homes and belongings had been burnt.Images from this trip document the first excursions into the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and were a central part of the work on oral history and mapping in the first years of research.
