EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Ruwenzori, or The Mountains of the Moon, in Central Africa, discovered by Mr H M Stanley's Expedition" takes us on a visual journey to the heart of Africa. Created by Charles Auguste Loye and part of a private collection, this artwork was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on February 1st, 1890. The image showcases the majestic beauty and ruggedness of the Ruwenzori Mountains, also known as "The Mountains of the Moon". These mountains were first explored and brought to light by Henry Morton Stanley during his renowned expedition. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to an untouched landscape where nature reigns supreme. The topography is awe-inspiring; towering peaks covered with snow dominate the scene while lush vegetation thrives at their base. This juxtaposition creates a striking contrast that captures both the harshness and vitality found within these African mountains. Loye's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life – from intricate rock formations to distant valleys disappearing into misty horizons. It is evident that he sought not only accuracy but also a sense of wonderment for those who lay eyes upon this engraving. As we admire this piece today, it serves as a reminder of our planet's diverse landscapes and untamed wonders waiting to be discovered. Through Loye's artistry and Stanley's exploration spirit, we can appreciate both the grandeur and fragility inherent in our natural world.
