EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, showcasing "The Rainbow, Steel Steam-Boat" in all its glory. This remarkable vessel was a key player in the historic Niger Expedition, an ambitious endeavor that aimed to explore the depths of Africa's mighty Niger River. With intricate details expertly etched into the print, we can admire the sleek design and sturdy construction of this steel steamboat. The Rainbow stands tall against a backdrop of swirling waters, exuding power and resilience as it navigates through uncharted territories. As one gazes at this image, they cannot help but be transported to a time when exploration was filled with uncertainty and adventure. The engraving captures not only the physicality of the boat but also evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity about what lies beyond. "The Illustrated Times" published on December 18th, 1858, featured this illustration as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. It serves as a reminder of our relentless pursuit for knowledge and discovery. Today, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact. Preserved in private collections around the world, it allows us to glimpse into an era where brave souls embarked on daring expeditions in search of new horizons.
