Mungo Park's Historic Encounter with King Ali at Benown, West Africa, 1795 This evocative image captures the moment of historic encounter between Scottish explorer Mungo Park and King Ali of the Bambara Empire at Benown, or Benowm, in West Africa, in 1795. Mungo Park, dressed in his European attire, stands respectfully before the regal figure of King Ali, who is seated within the shade of his impressive tent. The scene is set against the backdrop of the African savannah, with its vast expanse of golden grasslands stretching out towards the horizon. Mungo Park, a Scottish surgeon and explorer, had embarked on a daring journey to explore the Niger River and its tributaries in search of the source of the river. This encounter with King Ali was a pivotal moment in Park's expedition, as it marked his first significant contact with the local rulers and peoples of the region. The meeting was marked by mutual curiosity and respect, and Park was able to gain valuable insights into the culture and customs of the Bambara people. The image is a testament to the rich history of exploration and cultural exchange between Africa and Europe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It also highlights the bravery and determination of Mungo Park, who went against the odds to explore the unknown and expand the boundaries of human knowledge. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in African and European history, and serves as a reminder of the enduring connections between the two continents.
