EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Graphic' Stanley Number; Lady Baker and Sir Samuel White Baker, was published in The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper in 1890. The image showcases Lady Florence Baker (1841-1916) and her husband, Sir Samuel White Baker (1821-1893), two renowned African explorers of the Victorian era. Sir Samuel White Baker, a British explorer, naturalist, and soldier, is best known for his role in the exploration and settlement of Equatoria, a region in present-day South Sudan. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society (F.R.S.), the Royal Geographical Society (F.R.G.S.), and the Royal Society of Arts (F.R.S.A). Lady Baker, born Emily Eleanor Jenkins, was an English woman who married Baker in 1872, and accompanied him on many of his expeditions. In this photograph, both Lady Baker and Sir Samuel White Baker are depicted in head and shoulders portraits. Lady Baker is seen wearing a high-collared blouse and a veil, while Sir Samuel White Baker sports a full beard and wears a suit and bow tie. The image captures their strong and determined expressions, reflecting their adventurous spirits and their significant contributions to the exploration of Africa during the 19th century. The photograph, from the collection of The Print Collector, is a testament to the era's fascination with exploration and the intrepid individuals who dared to venture into the unknown. It serves as a reminder of the important role that the press played in documenting and disseminating information about the world beyond Europe's borders.
