EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 18th century and witness a remarkable encounter between Mungo Park, a Scottish explorer, and a majestic lion during his exploration of Africa in 1795. Mounted on horseback, Park finds himself face to face with the king of beasts as he makes his way towards the village of Modiboo. The image captures the essence of adventure and danger that defined explorations during this era. With wide-eyed determination, Park maintains his composure while gazing into the piercing eyes of the wild predator. The tension is palpable as both man and beast assess each other's intentions. Park's expedition through Africa was not for the faint-hearted. This photograph serves as a testament to his courage and resilience in traversing an untamed continent filled with unknown dangers at every turn. It symbolizes the spirit of exploration that drove individuals like him to venture into uncharted territories. Published in 1875 as part of "The Life and Travels of Mungo Park" this image has stood the test of time, capturing our imagination even today. Ken Welsh's masterful composition transports us back in time, allowing us to glimpse into one man's extraordinary journey across Africa - a journey marked by encounters with both natural wonders and formidable challenges alike.
