Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 1800s, this print showcases a significant moment in history when two daring explorers embarked on an expedition to uncover one of nature's greatest mysteries. Intricately detailed and meticulously crafted, this engraving depicts Captain John Hanning Speke and Captain James Augustus Grant's remarkable route as they ventured into unknown lands. The focal point is undoubtedly the majestic Victoria Nyanza Lake, where their exploration began.
