EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century color engraving captures a dramatic moment in the life of British explorer and journalist Henry Morton Stanley. In the year 1870, during his exploration of Africa, Stanley found himself under attack by a group of elephants in the Congo. The intensity of the scene is palpable as the majestic creatures loom over him, their tusks raised menacingly.
Stanley's fearless spirit and determination to push the boundaries of exploration are evident in this illustration from his book "In Darkest Africa." Despite facing such perilous situations, he continued to forge ahead into uncharted territories, documenting his adventures for future generations to marvel at.
The lush African landscape serves as a backdrop to this harrowing encounter, with towering trees adding to the sense of wildness and danger that permeates the image. The vibrant colors used in this engraving bring an added layer of realism and immediacy to Stanley's story.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era when brave individuals like Henry Morton Stanley risked life and limb in pursuit of discovery. It is a reminder of both the beauty and brutality that can be found in nature, as well as the indomitable human spirit that drives us ever forward into unknown realms.
