Prima non comune edizione di questo importante scritto dedicato all’Uganda dell’inizi del XX° secolo. Charles William Hattersley (1866–1934) era un missionario britannico che si unì alla Church Missionary Society all'inizio del 1897 dopo aver gestito una coltelleria a Sheffield. Nel settembre dello stesso anno lasciò l'Inghilterra per l'Uganda, dove aiutò a creare il sistema di istruzione primaria, fu coinvolto nell'educazione dei figli dei capi ugandesi e alla fine prestò servizio come preside della scuola della Missionary Society Church sulla collina di Mengo a Kampala. Fotografo dilettante entusiasta, Hattersley divenne il fotografo ufficiale della corte e della chiesa ugandesi. Il suo Uganda descritto in “Pen and Camera”, pubblicato dalla Religious Tract Society a Londra, venne edito con lo scopo principale di reclutamento di nuovi missionari, ma il libro contiene anche informazioni preziose sulla storia e la cultura dell'Uganda. Il primo capitolo descrive l'arduo viaggio intrapreso dai missionari per raggiungere l'Uganda. Altre materie trattate sono la religione tradizionale, il personaggio e il ruolo del re Daudi Chwa II, nipote del re Mutesa I e figlio del re Mwanga II, e la diffusione del cristianesimo e il suo effetto sulla società ugandese. Il capitolo sulla religione discute di Katonda, come il Baganda chiamava Dio e della tradizionale convinzione di Bagand che Katonda avesse mandato Kintu e la moglie di Kintu, Nambi, nel mondo per dare alla luce bambini e popolare la Terra. Sono incluse circa 30 belle delle fotografie di Hattersley. Prima edizione, in legatura originale.
