EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Alexandre-Henri Mouhot (1826-1861), a French naturalist and explorer, as he stands before the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Discovered in 1858, Mouhot's expedition marked a pivotal moment in the Western world's rediscovery of this magnificent architectural and cultural marvel. Born in Paris, Mouhot's fascination with the natural world began at a young age. He embarked on his first expedition to Indochina in 1855, driven by a desire to document the natural history of the region. However, it was during his exploration of the jungles of Cambodia that he stumbled upon the long-lost city of Angkor. Mouhot's discovery of the Angkor ruins was a groundbreaking moment in history. The site, which had been largely abandoned and overgrown for centuries, was a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of the ancient Khmer civilization. Mouhot's detailed descriptions and illustrations of the ruins were among the first to be published in Europe, sparking widespread interest and inspiring further exploration and study of the region. Tragically, Mouhot did not live to see the full impact of his discovery. He died in 1861, likely from malaria or dysentery, just a few years after his return from Cambodia. However, his legacy as a pioneering explorer and naturalist lives on, and his discovery of Angkor continues to captivate and inspire generations of scholars, travelers, and history enthusiasts. This photograph, taken in an era before mass tourism, offers a glimpse into a time when the wonders of the world were still waiting to be rediscovered, and the spirit of exploration and discovery was at its zenith.
