EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a time of intrepid exploration in the heart of Africa. The image, titled "Tragging canoes at Innkissi Falls (or Livingstone Falls) (Congo)" captures a pivotal moment during Sir H. M. Stanley's extraordinary voyage between 1874-1877. Under the direction of Stanley, we witness a group of African bearers diligently hauling their dugout canoes through treacherous terrain. The falls loom in the background, showcasing their raw power and beauty. This scene exemplifies the challenges faced by Stanley and his team as they navigated through uncharted territory. The drawing by G. Vuillier, expertly engraved for Le tour du monde in 1878, transports us into this mysterious continent. It serves as an illustration for Stanley's remarkable story entitled "Through the Mysterious Continent". As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Paris' Selva Collection, we are reminded of the bravery and determination required to explore unknown lands. The composition exudes a sense of adventure and discovery that is both awe-inspiring and humbling. It invites us to reflect on our own journeys through life's unexplored territories – physical or metaphorical – urging us to embrace challenges with courage and resilience. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this piece of history, allowing us to delve into an era when exploration was synonymous with daring feats against nature's formidable forces.
