EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic figure of an Albino native woman from the Cape Verde Islands, taken during the historic Voyage of H.M.S. Challenger (1872-1876). Funded by the British Government for scientific purposes, this expedition is recognized as the first to carry an official photographer and an official artist on board. The Voyage of H.M.S. Challenger was a groundbreaking endeavor that circumnavigated the globe, making significant contributions to the fields of oceanography, marine biology, and geology. The expedition's extensive scientific discoveries revolutionized the understanding of the natural world and paved the way for future explorations. Amidst the vast expanse of the ocean and the unfamiliar landscapes, this Albino native woman stands out, her unique features contrasting against the backdrop of her tropical homeland. Her resilience and connection to the land are palpable, offering a glimpse into the rich and diverse cultures that the Challenger's crew encountered during their travels. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the encounters between different worlds during the age of exploration and discovery. It invites us to reflect on the complex interplay between the scientific pursuit of knowledge and the human experiences that shaped the course of history.
