A colony in the making is a 1912 London travel and hunting memoir by Lord Cranworth about British East Africa, published by Macmillan for an English readership interested in settlement and big-game sport. Its photographs, printed rotated on the page, show landscape views of grassland and forest, a waterfall, and a team of horses with a wagon, giving a designer plain documentary scenes of colonial-era African terrain and transport.
