EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving showcases the remarkable 28-foot steel boat, Advance. Designed with a unique purpose in mind, this vessel was specifically created to be carried over land, making it an extraordinary feat of engineering for its time. The image transports us back to the late 19th century when exploration and colonialism were at their peak. The Advance played a crucial role in the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition in Africa from 1886 to 1889. This expedition aimed to rescue Emin Pasha, a German explorer and governor who found himself trapped amidst political turmoil. Sir Henry Morton Stanley's book "In Darkest Africa" published in 1890, featured this very illustration as an accompaniment to his gripping narrative of the expedition. It serves as a visual representation of the challenges faced by explorers during that era. The intricate diagram depicted on this print reveals how various sections and pieces of the boat could be assembled by porters on land. Its ingenious design allowed for easy transportation across difficult terrains, enabling expeditions into uncharted territories. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured through a wood engraving technique, we are reminded of both the audacity and determination exhibited by those who ventured into unknown lands under harsh conditions. This image encapsulates not only an important moment in history but also symbolizes human resilience and our innate desire for discovery.
