EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the image of Hugh Clapperton, a Scottish naval officer and renowned explorer in Nigeria. Known for being the first European to lay eyes on Lake Chad, Clapperton's legacy is one of courage and determination in the face of unknown territories.
In this portrait, Clapperton's stoic expression reflects the hardships he endured during his expeditions to uncover the source of the Niger River. His adventurous spirit and thirst for discovery are palpable through his piercing gaze, hinting at the countless challenges he faced during his explorations.
Tragically, Clapperton met his untimely demise while on an expedition to further explore Africa's uncharted lands. His passing serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers that early explorers like him faced in their quest for knowledge and understanding.
