The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the grandeur of this significant event. The scene is filled with anticipation and admiration as Captain Speke and Captain Grant stand at the center of attention. Dressed in their expedition attire, they exude a sense of accomplishment after their daring journey through Africa.

Surrounding them are members of the Royal Geographical Society, distinguished individuals who have dedicated themselves to advancing geographical knowledge. Their expressions reveal a mixture of awe and respect for these intrepid explorers who have pushed boundaries in pursuit of discovery. The setting itself adds to the gravity of this occasion; an ornate room adorned with intricate details symbolizes not only prestige but also serves as a testament to human curiosity.
