EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Grant traveling from Karague (west of Lake Victoria, present-day Zimbabwe) to Uganda" is a remarkable illustration by Godefroid Durand. It beautifully captures the essence of Captain Speke's voyage of discovery in Africa from 1860 to 1863. The artwork depicts Grant, an explorer, on his journey through the African continent. He is shown being transported in a wheelchair or sedan chair by bearers as they navigate the rugged terrain. The scene evokes a sense of adventure and exploration as Grant traverses Central Africa. Durand's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical moment to life. The intricate lines and shading showcase his artistic skill and contribute to the overall composition. The use of black and white enhances the dramatic effect, creating a timeless quality that transports viewers back to the 19th century. This engraving was featured in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1864, making it part of an esteemed collection curated by Selvas. It serves as both a work of art and a valuable historical document capturing an important period in African exploration. As we admire this piece, we are reminded not only of the bravery and curiosity exhibited by explorers like Grant but also of their impact on our understanding of different cultures and landscapes across the globe.
