EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable journey of Captain E R Murphy, a former member of the Dorset Regiment, as he embarked on an extraordinary two-year walk across the African continent. With only native carriers as his companions and a mere ?5 in his pocket, Captain Murphy set off from Beira with an audacious goal in mind. After traversing vast landscapes, enduring countless challenges and immersing himself in diverse cultures, Captain Murphy finally reached Boma, the port of Belgian Congo. His incredible feat not only symbolized human resilience but also led to valuable oil discoveries along his arduous route. The image evokes a sense of awe and admiration for this intrepid explorer who defied all odds to accomplish such an astounding feat. The monochrome tones add depth and timelessness to the photograph, transporting us back to that significant moment in history - 12th April 1923. Preserved by Central News and now made available through Europeana Photography archives, this print serves as a testament to human determination and exploration.
