EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a time of exploration and adventure. The image depicts "The expedition on horseback for the exploration of the valley of Terable" an engraving based on a drawing by G. Vuillier, which was originally published in 1880. In this scene, we see a group of intrepid explorers mounted on horses, ready to embark on their journey through the rugged terrain of South America. They are led by Jules Crevaux, a doctor from the French navy, who is known for his daring expeditions. The men are dressed in traditional explorer attire, with hats and long coats that flutter in the wind as they ride. One man holds a whip while another carries a parasol to shield himself from the scorching sun. As they traverse through Guyana's picturesque landscape, their horses carefully navigate across a river flowing beneath them. The sense of anticipation and excitement is palpable as they venture further into uncharted territory. This engraving beautifully captures both the bravery and curiosity that fueled these early explorations. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless desire to discover new lands and expand our knowledge of the world around us. Leonard de Selva has skillfully preserved this historical moment through his photography, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the significance behind this remarkable expedition.
