EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Lieutenant-Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett (1867-1925), the renowned English explorer, is seen in his prime, exuding an air of determination and adventure. The image, captured around 1925, shows Fawcett in his military uniform, adorned with various medals and insignia, reflecting his distinguished military career. However, it was his exploits as an explorer that would capture the imagination of the world. Fawcett is best known for his expeditions in search of the lost city of El Dorado, deep in the Amazon rainforest. He first ventured into the jungle in 1906 and continued to explore the region for the next two decades. In May 1925, Fawcett embarked on his final expedition, aiming to locate the ancient city of Z, believed to be situated near the Xingu River in Brazil. He was accompanied by his son Jack and a small team of companions. Tragically, Fawcett and his party disappeared near the Xingu River and were never seen or heard from again. The exact circumstances of their disappearance remain a mystery, adding to the intrigue surrounding Fawcett's life and legacy. Despite the unknown outcome of his final expedition, Fawcett's contributions to the field of exploration are undeniable. He was a pioneer in the use of aerial photography and the application of scientific methods to archaeological research. His explorations helped to expand the knowledge of the Amazon rainforest and the indigenous peoples who inhabited it. This photograph, taken just a few years before Fawcett's disappearance, serves as a poignant reminder of the explorer's indomitable spirit and the allure of the unknown that drove him to venture into the heart of the Brazilian jungle. The image is a testament to Fawcett's enduring legacy as a pioneering explorer and a symbol of human curiosity and determination.
