EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Tragging the canoes of the expedition in the forest" by A. Ferdinandus takes us back to a momentous voyage through Africa's mysterious continent. The drawing, featured in Sir H. M. Stanley's story "Through the Mysterious Continent" depicts a scene from his groundbreaking expedition between 1874 and 1877. In this engraving, we witness a group of courageous explorers trudging through dense foliage as they transport their canoes deeper into the heart of an African forest. The bearer guards, with their strong arms and unwavering determination, navigate rugged terrain to ensure safe passage for their team. This image encapsulates both the challenges and triumphs encountered during Stanley's journey. It serves as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity in conquering uncharted territories. The black-and-white aesthetic adds depth and intensity to this historical moment frozen in time. Alexandre Ferdinandus captures not only the physical exertion but also conveys a sense of awe at nature's grandeur juxtaposed against man-made vessels. As viewers, we are transported back to an era when exploration was driven by curiosity and discovery. This print reminds us of our collective thirst for knowledge about distant lands and cultures that lie beyond our familiar horizons. Leonard de Selva's preservation of this remarkable artwork allows us to appreciate its historical significance while honoring those who paved the way for future expeditions into unknown frontiers.
