Stanley in Africa: the vanguard attacked
The Emin Pasha Relief Expedition was much harassed by the frequent attacks of the forest dwarfs armed with poison arrows, which wounded several members of the expedition. Usually, they would deliver an attack then disappear suddenly, but on the occasion pictured here, the natives made an especially determined stand, resulting in several of them being killed and wounded

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and danger of the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition in Africa, led by renowned explorer Henry Morton Stanley in 1887. The vanguard of Stanley's troops, clad in pith helmets and armed with rifles, charges forward through the dense African forest, their faces determined and focused. However, the seemingly idyllic scene is belied by the imminent threat lurking in the shadows. The forest dwarfs, or Pygmies, are known for their use of poison arrows, which can inflict debilitating wounds. In this instance, the natives launched a particularly fierce attack, resulting in several casualties among the expedition. The dwarfs, often smaller in stature but not in courage, would typically deliver their attacks and then vanish just as suddenly, making their ambushes all the more effective. The swampy terrain and dense foliage of the African forest provided the perfect cover for the dwarfs, making it a challenging environment for the relief expedition. Despite the constant threat of attack, Stanley and his men pressed on, driven by their mission to rescue Emin Pasha, the governor of Equatoria, who had been stranded for years. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the bravery and determination of Stanley and his men during their perilous journey through the heart of Africa. The image serves as a testament to the explorers' resilience and their unwavering commitment to their mission, even in the face of relentless adversity.
