EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in African exploration. In the image, Mehmet Emin Pasha and Gaetano Casati are seen arriving at Sir Henry Morton Stanley's lake shore camp at Lake Albert in 1889 or 1890. The wood engraving, created by an English School artist from the 19th century, showcases the meeting of these prominent figures during the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition. Emin Pasha, governor of the Egyptian province of Equatoria, and Italian explorer Gaetano Casati stand side by side as they greet their host, Welsh journalist and explorer Sir Henry Morton Stanley. The scene is filled with symbolism as torches illuminate their arrival while native Africans dance nearby under colorful flags. The composition beautifully depicts the colonial era with its exploration officers representing different empires converging on this remote lakeside camp. It offers a glimpse into a time when Africa was still largely uncharted territory for Europeans. This rare historical illustration is sourced from "In Darkest Africa" written by Sir Henry Morton Stanley himself and published in 1890. As we observe this remarkable image today, it serves as a reminder of the courage and curiosity that drove these explorers to venture into unknown lands and encounter diverse cultures along their journeys.
