EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Alexandre Henri Mouhot, a 19th-century French explorer, in the Kingdom of Siam (now Thailand). The engraving showcases Mouhot bivouacking in the lush woods of Lao, as depicted by E. Bocourt based on an aquarelle sent by the traveler to his family shortly before his untimely death. In this remarkable image, Mouhot is seen amidst a serene forest setting, surrounded by towering trees and dense foliage. He appears engrossed in food preparation over an open fire, showcasing his resourcefulness and survival skills during his exploration. The portrait exudes a sense of adventure and determination as he immerses himself in the Asian wilderness. Notably, two majestic elephants stand nearby, symbolizing both the exotic nature of Siam and Mouhot's close encounters with its wildlife during his travels. Their presence adds an air of grandeur to the scene while underscoring the vastness and diversity of this uncharted territory. This evocative print offers us a glimpse into Mouhot's intrepid spirit as he fearlessly ventured into unknown lands for discovery and documentation. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of history's most celebrated explorers.
