EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of natives from Equatorial Africa, who were part of the retinue accompanying Captain Speke on his explorations. The image, a colour lithograph created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the rich diversity and cultural heritage of Africa. The print is believed to have been originally published as an illustration for "Curiosities of Savage Life" by James Greenwood in 1864. It features coloured illustrations based on watercolour drawings by F. W. Keyl and R. Huttula, providing a vivid depiction of these indigenous people. In this scene, we see the natives engaged in their daily lives amidst lush surroundings. They are shown playing various musical instruments that are unique to their culture and traditions. These instruments not only serve as sources of entertainment but also hold significant cultural value. The photograph offers a glimpse into the exploration and adventure undertaken by Captain Speke and his retinue during their travels through Equatorial Africa. It sheds light on the unknown aspects of African life at that time while highlighting the beauty and complexity found within its diverse peoples. Through this artwork, we are invited to appreciate both the natural landscapes and human experiences encountered during expeditions like those led by Captain Speke. It serves as a reminder that there is much more to discover about our world's history and cultures beyond what meets the eye.
