Taken by a European photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases an important chapter in history. The expedition, led by Haardt, was a remarkable feat of modern adventure. The men embarked on a daring journey across Africa in their Citroen vehicles, facing countless challenges along the way. In this photograph, we see them strategizing and planning their next move amidst the rugged terrain of the Congo. The composition is strikingly atmospheric; you can almost feel the weight of their mission as they huddle together over maps and charts. Their expressions reveal both excitement and apprehension for what lies ahead. It's clear that these individuals are true heroes, pushing boundaries to explore uncharted territories. This image serves as an illustration for "Recent Heroes of Modern Adventure" written by T. C Bridges and H Hessell Tiltman in 1932.
