EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the intriguing and adventurous spirit of Sir Samuel White Baker (1821-1893) and his wife, Lady Florence Baker (1841-1916), an English explorer and his beloved companion, surrounded by a decorative oval frame adorned with lush palms and exotic flora. Sir Samuel White Baker is known for his significant contributions to the exploration and conquest of East Africa, particularly for the discovery of Lake Albert and Lake Edward in 1875. He was a pioneer in the use of firearms and the organization of large-scale expeditions, making him a trailblazer in the field of African exploration. Lady Florence Baker, born Emily Eleanor Florentia Saunders, was an Englishwoman who married Baker in 1864, despite strong opposition from her family due to their social standing. She accompanied her husband on many of his expeditions, becoming the first European woman to explore the African interior. Her courage and resilience in the face of adversity, including the loss of their child during an expedition, earned her the admiration of her husband and the respect of her peers. This image, with its rich details and intricate frame, transports us back in time to an era of exploration and discovery. The palms and flora that surround the couple serve as a reminder of the exotic landscapes they traversed and the natural wonders they encountered during their adventures in Africa.
