EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured woodcut print depicts Mungo Park, a Scottish explorer, finding respite in a native's hut in Sego, Bambarra during his African expedition in 1796. The illustration is taken from "The Life and Travels of Mungo Park" which chronicles the remarkable journey of this intrepid adventurer across Africa. In the image, we see Park surrounded by an indigenous group dressed in traditional attire. The huts are constructed with wooden frames and woven thatched roofs, showcasing the local architectural style prevalent in Segou, Mali. As he rests within this humble abode, one can sense the exhaustion on Park's face after enduring arduous travels along the Niger River. Park's exploration was undertaken under the auspices of the African Association while working for them as their representative. This particular scene captures a significant moment during his expedition on July 21st, 1796. The Dalziel Brothers' masterful use of color brings vibrancy to this historical depiction and allows us to immerse ourselves in Park's experience. It serves as a testament to his determination and resilience amidst unfamiliar surroundings. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it offers us a glimpse into both colonial-era British exploration and West African culture during the late eighteenth century—a fascinating intersection between two worlds brought together through discovery and adventure.
