EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the mausoleum at Mortlake, Surrey, where the legendary Sir Richard Burton finds his eternal rest. The solemnity of this burial site is beautifully captured by the English School photographer from the 19th century. Sir Richard Burton was not just an ordinary man; he was a British explorer, author, and diplomat whose legacy continues to inspire generations. His remarkable life story unfolds within the pages of "The Life of Captain Sir Richard Burton". Volume II written by his devoted wife Isabel Burton and published in 1893. In this poignant image, we see a tent-like structure that serves as a memorial for Sir Richard's final resting place.

As we gaze upon this photograph, our minds are transported to a different era when exploration held great allure and adventure beckoned those with daring spirits.
