EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "African traveller attacked by a lion" takes us back to the 19th century, where danger and excitement were an integral part of exploration. The image depicts an African traveller on horseback, bravely facing off against a ferocious lion in the heart of Africa. The illustration was created as part of "The Life and Explorations of David Livingstone" a book that chronicled the extraordinary adventures of this renowned explorer. It captures the essence of Livingstone's perilous encounters with wildlife during his expeditions through uncharted territories. In this scene, we witness the intense struggle between man and beast. The fearless traveller skillfully maneuvers his horse to defend himself from the powerful jaws and claws of the attacking lion. Both figures exude strength and determination, showcasing their unwavering spirit amidst adversity. The artist masterfully portrays not only the imminent danger but also highlights Africa's breathtaking landscapes as witnessed by explorers like Livingstone. From vast savannahs to towering mountains, every detail invites us to embark on our own journey into unknown lands. This remarkable print serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with adventure and exploration. It encapsulates both the risks faced by early travellers in their quest for discovery and our eternal admiration for those who dared to venture into unexplored territories.
