Creator of an Image:
Richard Harding Davis is regarded as one of the greatest war correspondents of his time. His name was synonymous with romantic adventure. Dapper, well-to-do and among the social elite, he lived in high style, even while at work. During the Boer War (1899-1902) his gear included a tent, image above, with windowpanes and a portable bathtub. At right, Davis's cigar case, pocket watch, and lighter. |
