EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Battell arrives at the mouth of the Mbengo" transports us to a moment in history, capturing the adventurous spirit of English sailor Andrew Battell. The illustration is taken from the renowned book "The Land of the Golden Trade" published by Jack in 1921. In this vividly colored lithograph, we witness an awe-inspiring scene set on West Africa's Gold Coast. Battell and his fellow sailors navigate their makeshift boat through treacherous waters, approaching a perilous waterfall and fast-flowing rapids. The danger is palpable as they bravely face nature's formidable forces. The image showcases not only the courage and resilience of these sailors but also highlights their quest for exploration and discovery during a time when much of Africa remained uncharted territory. It offers a glimpse into the challenges faced by early European adventurers who sought to uncover new trade routes and exploit natural resources. Through this artwork, McClintock skillfully captures both the beauty and danger inherent in such expeditions. The vibrant colors bring to life every detail – from cascading waterfalls to lush greenery surrounding them – immersing viewers in this thrilling journey along with Battell. As part of Bridgeman Images' private collection, this remarkable print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about distant lands while reminding us of our shared history shaped by intrepid explorers like Andrew Battell.
