EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back in time to the late 19th century. The portrait features Victor Giraud, a renowned French author and ship ensign, alongside his intrepid traveler Montagu Kerr, a skilled hunter. The image is an engraving by Riou and was created to illustrate Giraud's enthralling story "Les lacs de l Afrique equatoriale" (The Lakes of Equatorial Africa), published in the prestigious magazine Le Tour du Monde in 1888. Giraud's literary work takes us on a thrilling exploration of the African continent, delving into its mysterious lakes and untamed landscapes. This portrait captures the essence of adventure as both men stand proudly with their gazes fixed firmly ahead. Giraud exudes an air of intellectuality while Kerr embodies the spirit of a seasoned explorer. The intricate details etched by Riou bring this historical moment to life - from the fine lines that define their facial features to the meticulous rendering of their clothing. It is evident that every stroke was carefully crafted to convey not only their physical appearances but also their inner strength and determination. This print serves as a testament to these remarkable individuals who fearlessly ventured into uncharted territories during an era when exploration held great allure for adventurers like Giraud and Kerr. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of their indomitable spirits and unwavering passion for discovery that continues to inspire us today.
