EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Mungo Park encouraged by the sight of a little flower" captures a poignant moment in the life of Scottish explorer Mungo Park. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Park embarked on two daring expeditions into the heart of West Africa, with the aim of mapping out the course of the River Niger. This engraving by JM Corner portrays Park as a determined and resilient figure amidst great hardship. The image shows him standing alone in an arid desert landscape, his gaze fixed upon a small flower blooming against all odds. It is said that this simple sight brought him solace and renewed his spirit during his treacherous journeys. Park's exploration was not without danger, as he faced numerous challenges from both nature and hostile native tribes. Tragically, it was on his second expedition that he met his untimely demise while trying to escape an attack. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of human resilience in the face of adversity. It symbolizes Park's unwavering determination to push forward despite suffering and hardships encountered along his path. His story remains an important part of British history, highlighting both individual courage and Britain's role in exploring new frontiers during this era.
