EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Here I found many of the soldiers sitting (engraving)" we are transported back to 19th century Africa, where an English explorer named Mungo Park embarked on a perilous journey. The image captures a pivotal moment in his travels as he encounters a group of weary soldiers resting by a stream. The scene is filled with tension and urgency, as one soldier, identified as Mr Anderson, appears to be gravely injured and near death. In an act of selflessness and bravery, Park takes it upon himself to carry Anderson across the stream on his own back. This powerful display of camaraderie amidst adversity showcases the resilience and compassion that can be found even in the harshest environments. The engraving serves as an illustration for Park's renowned book "Travels in the Interior of Africa" published in 1860. It offers us a glimpse into the challenges faced by explorers during this era and highlights their determination to push boundaries and discover new territories. Through this evocative artwork, we are reminded of both the physical hardships endured by these courageous individuals and their unwavering spirit in pursuit of knowledge. The image encapsulates not only an exploration into uncharted lands but also explores themes such as friendship, sacrifice, and humanity's ability to triumph over adversity.
