EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Henri Morton Stanley, a renowned explorer, amidst the bathers of the Karagoue region in Cameroon. The image depicts Stanley immersed in the midst of individuals who are plunging into the hot and medicinal water basin of the Mtagata gorge. The drawing, skillfully created by Emile Bayard, was intended to illustrate Stanley's remarkable journey titled "Through the Mysterious Continent" which he embarked upon between 1874 and 1877. The engraving originally appeared in Le tour du monde, a publication directed by Edouard Charton in Paris during 1878. This particular piece is part of the Selva Collection and is now held within a private collection. Leonard de Selva has expertly captured this historical artwork through his photography. Sir Henri Morton Stanley was an intrepid adventurer who traversed uncharted territories with great determination and courage. His expedition through Africa remains one of his most significant achievements. Through this evocative illustration, viewers can catch a glimpse into both the natural beauty of Cameroon's Karagoue region and Stanley's encounters with its inhabitants. Emile Bayard's intricate detailing brings to life not only Sir H. M. Stanley but also those around him as they engage in this ancient tradition of bathing in healing waters. This print serves as a testament to exploration, cultural exchange, and human resilience against nature's challenges throughout history.
