Travelling in Africa, Two Days without Water - A Glimpse into the Harsh Realities of Exploration
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving from the 19th century takes us on a visual journey through the unforgiving landscapes of Africa. The scene depicts a group of weary travelers amidst their arduous expedition, facing an imminent crisis - two days without water. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness the challenges faced by explorers venturing into uncharted territories. The English School artist skillfully captures the essence of struggle and endurance etched across each traveler's face. The composition showcases traditional African carts and wagons pulled by cattle, serving as vital means of transport in these remote regions. We observe how every wagon is meticulously hitched together, forming a convoy that braves the harsh terrain together. The absence of water becomes palpable as we see parched earth stretching out endlessly before them. This scarcity forces both man and beast to confront their limits while embarking on this treacherous journey. Yet, despite their fatigue and thirst, there is an undeniable determination within each traveler's eyes - an unwavering spirit that propels them forward. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News in January 1869, offering readers a glimpse into distant lands where survival depended on resilience and resourcefulness. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit for discovery and knowledge even under extreme circumstances. Through this artwork captured by Brid
