EDITORS COMMENTS
Hanno the Navigator: A Pioneering Explorer of Ancient Africa, c. 500 BC This engraving by Bertrand, titled "Hanno the Navigator (c.500 BC)," transports us back to the medieval ages when the Carthaginian explorer Hanno II embarked on an extraordinary journey along the African coast. Dated to 1882, this vibrant and intricately detailed image is a testament to the rich history of exploration and the enduring fascination with the unknown. Born in the ancient city of Carthage, Hanno II was a Carthaginian navigator and explorer who led an expedition to explore the western coast of Africa. The engraving depicts Hanno as a determined and resolute figure, standing confidently on a rocky outcrop, gazing out at the vast expanse of the sea before him. Accompanied by a crew of skilled sailors, Hanno navigated the uncharted waters, charting the coastline and establishing trade relations with local African tribes. The image, taken from The Enlightenment, is an exquisite representation of the era's artistic style. The use of bold lines, intricate details, and rich colors brings the scene to life, transporting us back to the 6th century BC. The engraving also highlights the significance of naval technology during this period, with the depiction of a Carthaginian ship in the background. Hanno's expedition is a remarkable achievement in ancient history, marking the beginning of extensive contact between the Mediterranean world and the African continent. This engraving serves as a visual reminder of the courage and curiosity that drove Hanno and his crew to explore the unknown, paving the way for future explorers and the expansion of human knowledge.
