EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Mungo Park, 1771-1813" takes us back in time to the early 20th century when cigarette cards were a popular collectible. This chromolithograph, created by an anonymous English School artist, is part of a series called "Builders of the Empire" published by Willss Cigarettes. Mungo Park was a renowned figure during the British Empire era. Born in 1771 and passing away at just 42 years old in 1813, he made significant contributions as an explorer and builder of the empire. The portrait captures his determined gaze and confident demeanor, reflecting his adventurous spirit. Park's expeditions into Africa were groundbreaking at the time. He embarked on two major journeys to explore the Niger River and its surrounding regions. His accounts provided valuable knowledge about West Africa's geography and cultures to Europeans who had little understanding of this vast continent. This print serves as a tribute to Mungo Park's legacy as one of Britain's most famous explorers. It reminds us of the brave individuals who played pivotal roles in expanding the British Empire across continents through their discoveries and endeavors. Displayed proudly within private collections worldwide, this artwork from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only Mungo Park but also all those builders who left indelible marks on history during that remarkable period known as the British Empire.
