EDITORS COMMENTS
A Frightful Incident: A Glimpse into the Perils of African Exploration". This chromolitho print, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, depicts a heart-stopping moment during an African expedition. The scene unfolds on a moonlit river, where a native girl finds herself in the clutches of a fearsome crocodile. This dramatic illustration was originally featured in "The Life and Explorations of David Livingstone" (Murdoch, c 1878), offering readers a glimpse into the dangers faced by intrepid explorers. As we gaze upon this artwork from our private collection, we are transported to Africa's untamed wilderness. The brave explorer and his companions navigate these treacherous waters aboard their sturdy steamer, witnessing firsthand the raw power of nature. In this chilling incident, fear is palpable as they witness the ferocity with which this ancient predator attacks its unsuspecting prey. The image also provides us with cultural insights as it showcases traditional African attire and customs. The young native girl's nakedness serves as a reminder of her vulnerability against such formidable adversaries. Through this evocative print, we are reminded that exploration entails not only adventure but also grave risks. It invites us to reflect on the courage exhibited by those who dared to venture into uncharted territories for knowledge and discovery. Let this artwork serve as both a cautionary tale and an homage to all explorers who have braved unknown frontiers throughout history.
