EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the image of Captain John Hanning Speke, the renowned English explorer who played a crucial role in uncovering one of history's greatest geographical mysteries. In 1860, Speke embarked on an ambitious expedition alongside James Augustus Grant with the goal of locating the elusive source of the Nile River. After three years of arduous exploration and countless challenges faced along their journey, Speke and Grant finally achieved their objective in 1863. This historic discovery definitively proved that the Victoria Nyanza, known today as Lake Victoria, was indeed the long sought-after origin of this legendary river. The engraving showcases Speke in all his glory, embodying the spirit of adventure and determination that characterized his remarkable career as an explorer. His legacy lives on through this powerful image, serving as a testament to his enduring impact on our understanding of geography and history. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Speke's incredible achievement but also of the importance of perseverance and curiosity in unlocking the secrets of our world. It is a tribute to a man whose name will forever be synonymous with exploration and discovery.
