EDITORS COMMENTS
The Graphic' Stanley Number: Emin Pasha on Board the Steamer 'Khedive' Crossing the Albert Nyanza to Join Mr. Stanley (1888),' is an evocative photograph from the late 1890s, taken from the pages of 'The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper.' The image captures a pivotal moment in the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition, a British rescue mission led by Sir Henry Morton Stanley to save Mehmed Emin Pasha, the governor of Equatoria in the Congo Free State. In the photograph, Emin Pasha, dressed in European attire and wearing a pith helmet, stands on the deck of the steamer 'Khedive,' surrounded by a group of men, likely members of the expedition. The steamer cuts through the waters of the Albert Nyanza, a large lake in what is now Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Among the men on board are Sir Henry Morton Stanley, identifiable by his distinctive handlebar mustache, and John Rowlands, who would later become the governor of Equatoria. The photograph is a testament to the exploration and transportation revolution of the late 19th century. The steam-powered steamer allowed for faster and more efficient travel across vast bodies of water, enabling Europeans to reach previously inaccessible parts of Africa and expand their empires. The image also highlights the complex interplay of European politics and colonialism in Africa, as well as the human stories behind the larger historical narrative. The photographer of this image remains unknown, but it is a valuable document of a significant moment in African and European history. The photograph is a reminder of the role of the press in shaping public opinion and recording history, as 'The Graphic' brought the story of the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition to a wide audience in Britain and beyond.
