EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph transports us back to the South End of the Albert Nyanza on December 13,1887. Taken from Henry Morton Stanley's renowned book "In Darkest Africa" this print captures a pivotal moment in history. The image showcases the breathtaking landscape of Lake Albert, also known as Albert Nyanza, with its rocky hills stretching into the distance. The focus of this scene is not only on the natural beauty but also on the human drama unfolding within it. We see soldiers retreating through this rugged terrain, their presence hinting at a larger story of conflict and struggle. Among them is Emin Pasha, Governor of Equatoria, who finds himself caught in a precarious situation amidst political unrest. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of Africa's rich history and its complex relationship with colonization. The image invites us to reflect on themes such as power dynamics, exploration, and resilience in the face of adversity. Through careful composition and attention to detail, Stanley masterfully captures both the grandeur of nature and the intensity of human endeavor. This lithograph serves as a testament to his skill as an artist and storyteller. Displayed here courtesy of Fine Art Finder via Bridgeman Images' private collection archive; let us cherish these historical treasures that continue to inspire our imagination today.
