EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Rosita Forbes, a brave and plucky English travel writer and explorer, is captured at Jaghbub, a remote desert oasis village in the eastern Libyan Desert. The image was taken shortly before she embarked on the final stage of her return journey to Egypt, having successfully crossed the vast and inhospitable expanse of the Sahara Desert. Forbes became the first European woman to visit the Kufra Oasis in Libya, an achievement she shared with the Egyptian explorer Ahmed Hassanein. Dressed in a long, flowing white robe and headdress, Forbes sits confidently atop a camel, her determined expression and steely gaze reflecting the immense courage and endurance required for such a perilous journey. The arid landscape stretches out behind her, the sun casting long shadows over the sand dunes. Forbes' exploration of the Sahara Desert was a testament to her adventurous spirit and her unwavering commitment to discovery. Her journey was fraught with challenges, including scorching temperatures, limited water supplies, and the ever-present danger of sandstorms. Yet, she persevered, driven by her insatiable curiosity and her desire to document the wonders of the African continent. This photograph is a powerful reminder of Forbes' historic achievement and her indomitable spirit. It captures a moment of triumph and determination, as she stands on the precipice of completing her daring expedition through the heart of the Sahara Desert. Forbes' legacy continues to inspire generations of explorers and adventurers, and her story serves as a testament to the power of human curiosity and the enduring allure of the unknown.
