EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the meeting of two legendary English explorers, John Hanning Speke and James Augustus Grant, at Gondokoro in south Sudan. This remarkable moment marked the end of their groundbreaking expedition that would forever change our understanding of Africa's geography. Speke and Grant embarked on a daring journey from 1860 to 1863, during which they meticulously mapped parts of Lake Victoria Nyanza. It was Speke who made an astonishing discovery - he found the outlet of the lake into the White Nile and aptly named it Ripon Falls. Their exploration opened up new possibilities for trade routes and furthered British interests in Africa. As they reached Gondokoro, their exhaustion was met with warm greetings from Samuel and Florence Baker. These brave individuals played a crucial role in supporting expeditions like these by providing vital assistance and supplies along treacherous paths. The photograph captures not only a historic encounter but also serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of exploration that defined this era. The image is part of Edwin Hodder's renowned collection "Heroes of Britain in Peace and War" showcasing extraordinary individuals who shaped history through their courage and determination. Through this mesmerizing snapshot frozen in time, we can appreciate the immense contributions made by these intrepid adventurers as they unraveled mysteries hidden within Africa's vast landscapes.
