EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1890 depicts James Sligo Jameson, a remarkable figure of the 19th century. Known for his diverse talents as a naturalist, artist, and explorer, Jameson played an integral role in the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition in Africa from 1886 to 1889. The illustration is taken from Sir Henry Morton Stanley's renowned book "In Darkest Africa" published in 1890. The portrait showcases Jameson's distinguished features - a gentleman of Victorian era with an impressive oval-shaped face framed by a well-groomed moustache. His piercing gaze reflects both determination and curiosity, embodying the spirit of exploration that defined his life. Engraved by Werdmuller, this print captures not only the physical likeness of Jameson but also hints at his adventurous nature and contributions to African exploration during this period. It serves as a testament to his significant role within the expedition and offers insight into the challenges faced by explorers like him. Preserved within a private collection, this historical artwork provides us with a glimpse into an era marked by discovery and adventure. Through this image, we are reminded of individuals who dedicated their lives to unraveling the mysteries of uncharted territories while leaving behind lasting legacies that continue to inspire generations today.
