EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The passage of the river Lovoi (or river of the devil)" takes us back to a remarkable expedition through Africa in the late 19th century. The drawing, skillfully crafted by Emile Bayard, beautifully illustrates British commander V. L. Cameron's arduous journey from Zanzibar in Tanzania to Benguela in Angola between 1873 and 1876. As we gaze at this engraving featured in Le tour du monde magazine directed by Edouard Charton, Paris, we are transported to the Katanga region of Congo. The image showcases a breathtaking bridge spanning over the treacherous Lovoi River, aptly named as "river of the devil". This perilous crossing becomes an emblematic symbol representing both danger and triumph during this epic exploration. Intriguingly, we see a group of African bearers diligently carrying heavy bags across the bridge while British explorers observe their progress. Their luggage serves as a testament to their determination and resilience throughout this extraordinary voyage. Leonard de Selva's photograph captures not only historical significance but also artistic brilliance. It allows us to appreciate Bayard's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey both beauty and hardship within one frame. This print from Fine Art Finder is truly a treasure that invites us into an era when intrepid adventurers embarked on daring expeditions through uncharted territories for knowledge, discovery, and adventure.
