EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Two Cannibals Cooking," depicts a chilling scene from the Central African village near Nassibus Camp on the Aruwimi River, sketched by H. Ward during the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition of 1887-1888. Led by renowned explorer H.M. Stanley, the expedition aimed to rescue Emin Pasha, the governor of Equatoria Province in the Congo Free State, who was under siege by local rebels. The image captures two cannibals, clad in animal skins, preparing their next meal over an open fire. The village in the background, with its thatched huts and smoky atmosphere, adds to the sense of primal existence. The scene is a stark reminder of the harsh realities of life in Central Africa during that era. H. Ward, an important member of the expedition, sketched this scene in 1888, providing a firsthand account of the people and culture he encountered. The engraving offers a glimpse into the past, shedding light on the historical context of Central Africa during the late 19th century. The Aruwimi River, a major waterway in the region, flows through the background, adding to the sense of wilderness and isolation. This poignant image serves as a testament to the courage and determination of explorers like Stanley and his team, who braved the unknown to document and understand the world around them. The "Two Cannibals Cooking" engraving is a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the lives of people and cultures that have long since vanished into history.
