EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Sir Richard Burton, a man of many talents and accomplishments. Born in 1821, Burton was an English explorer, linguist, writer, and diplomat who left an indelible mark on history. The image captures his enigmatic presence with striking clarity. Dressed in a turban that exudes exoticism and mystery, Sir Richard Burton's piercing gaze demands attention. His well-groomed moustache adds to his distinguished appearance as he stares confidently into the distance. This portrait is a testament to his adventurous spirit and relentless pursuit of knowledge. The black-and-white photograph has been transformed into a mesmerizing colour lithograph by the skilled hands of an anonymous 19th-century English artist. Through this artistic interpretation, we are transported back in time to witness the essence of one of history's greatest explorers. Notably depicted against a neutral background, this composition allows us to focus solely on Sir Richard Burton himself. It serves as a reminder of his remarkable achievements - from climbing Mount Cameroun in 1861 to venturing into uncharted territories across Africa and Asia. As we admire this extraordinary portrayal of Sir Richard Burton's likeness, it is impossible not to feel inspired by his unwavering determination and thirst for discovery. This print encapsulates both the allure and intellectual prowess that defined him throughout his illustrious career as an explorer extraordinaire.
