EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "It's them!", we are transported back in time to Stanley's expedition in the equatorial forest. The engraving, skillfully done by Riou, beautifully captures a pivotal moment of discovery and reunion. As we gaze at the image, our eyes are drawn to a group of explorers standing amidst the dense foliage. Their faces reflect a mixture of relief, joy, and astonishment as they recognize their lost comrades. It is a powerful testament to the resilience and determination of these brave individuals who ventured into the unknown. The scene is bathed in black and white tones, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the composition. Each detail has been meticulously etched onto paper by Riou's skilled hand, allowing us to appreciate every line and contour. This engraving was created as an illustration for Henry Stanley's story "Dans les tenebres de l'Afrique" recounting his research discoveries and retreat with Emin Pacha from 1887-1889. Published in "Le Tour du Monde" under Edouard Charton's direction in 1890 by Hachette Paris, it serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. Leonard de Selva expertly captured this photograph of the original engraving held within a private collection. Through his lens, he preserves not only the artwork but also its rich history for future generations to admire. "It's them!" stands as a timeless reminder of human endurance against all odds—a tribute to
