EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating frontispiece to Volume 2 of the Journal of an Expedition to Explore the Course and Termination of The Niger takes us on a visual journey through time. This remarkable engraving, created by the English School in the 19th century, transports us to West Africa where we meet John Lander, a renowned traveller and explorer. In this print from a private collection, we are introduced to Lander himself. His portrait exudes determination and curiosity as he stands against a backdrop that hints at the vastness and mystery of uncharted territories. With his pioneering spirit shining through his eyes, Lander symbolizes both adventure and discovery. Published in 1832, this engraving holds historical significance as it marks Lander's successful resolution of one of Africa's greatest geographical mysteries - the course and termination of The Niger River. Through his courageous expedition, he shed light on previously unknown regions while unraveling secrets that had eluded explorers for centuries. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we cannot help but be inspired by Lander's bravery and tenacity. It serves as a reminder that there is still so much left to explore in our world – both physically and metaphorically. This powerful frontispiece invites us to embark on our own personal expeditions – whether they be physical journeys or intellectual pursuits – encouraging us to push boundaries, challenge conventions, and uncover new horizons just like John Lander did all those
