EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Mungo Park, a renowned Scottish explorer who lived from 1771 to 1806. The illustration is taken from "The Great Mariners of the 18th century" one of the three volumes in Jules Verne's "The General History of Great Voyages and Travellers". This particular volume was published in 1879 and holds a place in a private collection. In this beautifully detailed engraving, we see Mungo Park depicted with great authenticity. His face exudes determination and curiosity, reflecting his adventurous spirit as an explorer. With his piercing gaze, he seems ready to conquer new frontiers and unravel the mysteries of uncharted territories. Mungo Park dedicated his life to exploration, particularly focusing on Africa. He embarked on several expeditions across the continent during the late 18th century when such ventures were both perilous and groundbreaking. As a British traveler hailing from Scotland, he left an indelible mark on African history through his discoveries and documentation. This portrait not only captures Mungo Park's physical features but also symbolizes his significant contributions to geographical knowledge. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our innate desire for discovery. The vibrant colors used by Stefano Bianchetti bring life to this historical figure while reminding us of the rich cultural tapestry that encompasses explorers like Mungo Park. As we admire this artwork, let it inspire us to embrace our own sense of adventure and explore the world around us
