EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sir Samuel Baker in Africa, Different Modes of Travel" takes us back to the 19th century, a time when exploration and colonialism were at their peak. The image showcases Sir Samuel Baker, an English explorer, amidst various modes of transportation in Central Africa. In this vibrant colour lithograph, we see a fascinating juxtaposition of different means of conveyance that were used during expeditions. From cattle-drawn stretchers to camels carrying supplies and equipment, every mode reflects the challenges faced by explorers in navigating the African terrain. The presence of wildlife adds an element of adventure to the scene. It reminds us that these journeys were not only about discovery but also encountering the untamed beauty and danger inherent in Africa's wild life. The image also offers glimpses into colonial life with its depiction of upholstered furniture and great beds – symbols of comfort amidst unfamiliar surroundings. These furnishings serve as a reminder that exploration was often carried out under the auspices of colonization. Overall, this print captures both the spirit of exploration and the complexities surrounding it during this era. It invites viewers to reflect on how travel has evolved over time while acknowledging its historical context within colonialism. A truly remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection that transports us back to a significant period in history.
