EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intrepid explorers John Hanning Speke (1827-1864) and his fellow traveller, James Grant (1822-1862), in Africa during their groundbreaking expedition in 1863. Speke, dressed in safari attire and standing confidently on the right, and Grant, seated with a thoughtful expression, exude an air of adventure and discovery. Speke, a British explorer, and Grant, a Scottish surgeon, embarked on their journey to explore the Great Lakes region of East Africa in search of the source of the Nile River. Their expedition, which lasted from 1858 to 1864, was significant in the history of African exploration as they were the first Europeans to discover Lake Victoria, which they believed to be the source of the Nile. The photograph, taken in 1863, is a rare and valuable document of this important period in African exploration history. It provides a glimpse into the lives of two pioneering explorers and their experiences in a land far removed from their European homeland. The image also serves as a reminder of the spirit of adventure and discovery that drove men like Speke and Grant to explore the unknown and expand the boundaries of human knowledge. This photograph, which is part of the Mary Evans collection, was taken in 1892, over 29 years after Speke's tragic death in 1864. The exact location and circumstances of the photograph are unknown, but it is a testament to the enduring legacy of Speke and Grant's exploration of Africa and their contributions to the scientific and geographical knowledge of the continent.
