EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hauling Canoes Up Inkisi Falls" takes us back to a remarkable moment in history. Published in The Illustrated London News on February 6,1878, this engraving depicts an expedition led by the renowned explorer Henry Morton Stanley during his first trans-African exploration of 1874-1877. The scene showcases the arduous task faced by Stanley and his team as they navigate the treacherous terrain of Inkisi Falls, located in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. In this image, we witness Stanley's resourcefulness as he calls upon his friendly natives for assistance. Together, they work tirelessly to haul two large canoes up the falls while others clear a path through the dense forest. This engraving not only captures a pivotal moment in Victorian exploration but also highlights the spirit of adventure and determination that characterized these expeditions. It serves as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. With its rich historical context and stunning visual composition, this print transports us back in time to witness firsthand one of Africa's most breathtaking natural wonders being conquered by human willpower. It reminds us of our capacity for extraordinary feats when united towards a common goal – be it exploring uncharted territories or overcoming obstacles that stand in our way.
