EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print captures the intense moment of Sir Henry Morton Stanley's Emin Pasha Relief Expedition being attacked by Avisibba cannibals using poisoned arrows. The image, taken in 1890, showcases the perilous journey through Africa undertaken by this expedition between 1886 and 1889. In this wood engraving by Edouard Riou, we witness a dramatic scene unfolding on a riverbank. The colonial officers and their native companions find themselves under siege as they face off against a crowd of Avisibba warriors armed with bows and arrows. The dense jungle backdrop adds to the sense of danger and uncertainty that permeates the atmosphere. The illustration is an excerpt from Sir Henry Morton Stanley's book "In Darkest Africa" published in 1890. It vividly depicts one of the many conflicts encountered during his exploration mission, which aimed to provide relief for Emin Pasha, who was trapped in Equatoria (modern-day South Sudan) amidst political turmoil. The image serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by early explorers venturing into unknown territories on behalf of empires like Britain. It also sheds light on the clash between different cultures that occurred during these expeditions. This powerful visual narrative transports us back in time to witness this life-and-death battle between European explorers and African tribesmen—a haunting testament to both human resilience and tragic loss amidst colonialism's complex history.
