South African author Alan Paton (January 11, 1903 – April 12, 1988) teaching a child in front of a church in Natal. Photograph by Constance Stuart Larrabee, February 1949.
This photograph was taken in February 1949, when Larrabee was on assignment for Harper’s Bazaar. Her objective was to create a portfolio inspired by Paton’s seminal book Cry, The Beloved Country, which brought the conditions in South Africa to the attention of the world. The novel was published in 1948, with apartheid becoming law later that year.
