EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Departure of the portfaix caravan, embarking on a treacherous journey from Benguela to Quilengues in Angola. Engraved by A. Ferdinandus, this image beautifully illustrates Major Serpa Pinto's remarkable expedition across Africa, spanning from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean in 1877-1878. The scene is filled with anticipation and adventure as men and their pack animals gather together, preparing for an arduous voyage through untamed lands. The composition showcases a sense of unity and determination among the travelers, highlighting their shared goal of conquering uncharted territories. The engraving expertly portrays the vastness of Africa's landscapes, with rolling hills stretching into the distance under a dramatic sky. The attention to detail brings every element to life – from meticulously rendered caravans laden with supplies to individuals donning traditional attire that reflects their cultural heritage. Published in 1881 as part of Edouard Charton's Tour du monde magazine, this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into an era when exploration was at its peak and boundaries were being pushed further than ever before. It serves as both a historical document and a testament to human resilience and curiosity.
