EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "About ten o'clock I heard the hollow roar of a lion at no great distance" takes us on a visual journey into the heart of Africa. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from Mungo Park's Travels in the Interior of Africa. The scene depicts an explorer standing before a closed gate, his hand hesitantly reaching for its latch. The intensity is palpable as he recounts hearing the distant but thunderous roar of a lion. Eager to investigate, he attempts to open the gate only to be halted by voices from within cautioning him against entering without permission from their leader, known as Dooty. The image transports us back in time and immerses us in both the beauty and danger that characterized African exploration during this era. The vastness of the landscape stretches out behind our protagonist, hinting at untold adventures awaiting those brave enough to venture further. Through skillful use of light and shadow, this engraving evokes a sense of mystery and anticipation. It serves as a reminder that even amidst unfamiliar territories and formidable wildlife, human curiosity remains undeterred. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded not only of Mungo Park's courageous spirit but also our own innate desire for discovery and understanding – qualities that continue to drive explorers today.
