This print titled "Mungo Park, Employed as a barber by the Emir Ali" takes us back in time to the fascinating world of Mungo Park, an African explorer. The colour lithograph, created by J. Williamson, showcases a moment from Park's extraordinary journey through West Africa. In this image, we see Mungo Park working as a barber for Emir Ali. It is a testament to the diverse skills and adaptability of explorers during that era. As he meticulously trims his client's beard, one can't help but wonder about the stories and experiences he must have gathered along his travels. The lithograph was originally commissioned for a book on Mungo Park published around 1910 by A&C Black. Its inclusion in this publication speaks volumes about its significance in capturing the essence of Park's adventures. Park's exploration of West Africa was groundbreaking at the time and paved the way for future expeditions into uncharted territories. His encounters with different cultures and landscapes undoubtedly shaped our understanding of Africa today. This print serves as a visual reminder of Mungo Park's courage and determination as he ventured into unknown lands while also highlighting his unexpected role as a barber under Emir Ali's patronage.
