EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving takes us back to the year 1890, capturing a significant moment in history. The image showcases Mackays missionary station at Usambiro, an essential hub for spreading Christianity in Africa during the late 19th century. In this remarkable print, we see a group of distinguished men standing on the veranda of the missionary station. Among them are renowned figures such as Sir Henry Morton Stanley, a Welsh journalist and explorer famous for his expeditions in Africa. Also present is Emin Pasha, governor of Equatoria, and Gaetano Casati, an Italian explorer. The scene depicts officers from the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition that took place in 1889. This expedition aimed to provide assistance to Emin Pasha during a time of political unrest in Sudan. The illustration was originally featured in Sir Henry Morton Stanley's book "In Darkest Africa" published in 1890. This wood engraving offers us a glimpse into colonialism and exploration during the Victorian era. It symbolizes both the British Empire's influence on African territories and their efforts to spread Christianity through missionary work. Preserved within this private collection, this historical print serves as a testament to an important chapter in African history while also honoring those who dedicated themselves to these missions of relief and exploration.
