A Sand Wind on the Desert, 1821. Artist: Denis Dighton
A Sand Wind on the Desert, 1821. In 1818 George Francis Lyon and Joseph Ritchie undertook an expedition to try to map the course of the River Niger and locate the city of Timbuktu. The expedition lacked funding and support and the selection of Tripoli as the point of departure meant that a crossing of the vast Sahara Desert would be required. The expedition failed to achieve its objectives and Ritchie died from illness. From Narrative of Travels in Northern Africa in the years 1818-19 and 1920 by Captain George Francis Lyon (1795-1832), 1821

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Sand Wind on the Desert, 1821" we are transported back to a moment in history when explorers George Francis Lyon and Joseph Ritchie embarked on a daring expedition to map the course of the River Niger and locate Timbuktu. The image captures the harsh reality they faced as they crossed the vast Sahara Desert. The scene is filled with swirling dust and sand, whipped up by strong winds that engulf everything in their path. Amidst this tumultuous environment, we see Lyon bravely navigating through the storm, dressed in traditional attire for protection against the elements. His determination is evident as he walks alongside his trusty camels, who have become indispensable companions during their arduous journey. This photograph not only showcases the physical challenges faced by these brave explorers but also serves as a reminder of their resilience and unwavering spirit. Despite encountering setbacks and losing Ritchie to illness along the way, Lyon's narrative of their travels provides us with valuable insights into Northern Africa during this time period. Denis Dighton's lithograph beautifully captures both the beauty and harshness of nature while highlighting Lyon's remarkable journey through an unforgiving landscape. It stands as a testament to human curiosity, exploration, and our innate desire to unravel mysteries hidden within distant lands.
