EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a chilling moment frozen in time, transporting us back to circa 1872 during an expedition led by renowned explorers David Livingstone and Henry Stanley. In the heart of Central Africa, where danger lurked at every turn, a fearless missionary finds himself face-to-face with a ferocious lion. The image portrays the raw essence of this harrowing encounter. The black and white format adds an air of historical authenticity while emphasizing the stark contrast between man and beast. Dressed in traditional attire that reflects their national origins, members of the party stand amidst the picturesque countryside, unaware that violence is about to unfold. With nerves of steel and unwavering determination, one member readies his weapon—a gun—poised to protect his fellow explorer from imminent peril.
