EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Not a word was uttered by any of us but in a whisper" transports viewers to the heart of an African wilderness. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a scene from Mungo Park's Travels in the Interior of Africa. In this evocative image, silence reigns supreme as a group of explorers navigate through dense thickets. Each figure is depicted with utmost attention to detail, their faces filled with anticipation and curiosity. The atmosphere is palpable; every individual is eager to display their wisdom by pointing out elusive wolves and hyenas that glide like ethereal shadows from one hiding place to another. The artist skillfully conveys the explorer's sagacity through their posture and expressions, emphasizing their acute awareness of the surrounding dangers lurking within nature's embrace. As we gaze upon this artwork, we become immersed in the expedition's intensity and feel compelled to join them on their journey into uncharted territories. This engraving not only serves as a visual testament to Mungo Park's remarkable adventures but also encapsulates humanity's eternal fascination with exploration and discovery. It reminds us that even amidst vast landscapes teeming with unknown creatures, our collective hush can speak volumes about our shared awe for nature's wonders.
