EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print, we are transported back to the year 1825, where Scottish explorer Mungo Park finds himself in a perilous encounter with a majestic lion. As he makes his way through the dense jungle towards the Village of Modiboo, Park's horse comes face to face with this formidable creature. The scene is filled with an air of danger and adventure as both man and beast lock eyes. The artist skillfully captures the tension in every detail - from the overgrown foliage surrounding them to the wild expression on Park's face. Despite being outnumbered by nature's raw power, Park stands tall and resolute, wearing his signature top hat that symbolizes his determination and courage. This woodcut illustration is taken from "The Life and Travels of Mungo Park" an account of Park's groundbreaking expedition across Africa in 1795. It serves as a testament to his unwavering spirit and relentless pursuit of knowledge amidst untamed wilderness. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel ourselves immersed in that African landscape - its vibrant colors contrasting against the imminent danger lurking within. It reminds us of our own thirst for exploration and discovery, urging us to embrace life's challenges head-on just as Mungo Park did centuries ago.
