EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mungo Park, a renowned Scottish explorer from the 19th century. Taken around 1900, the image captures Park's determined gaze and rugged appearance, embodying his adventurous spirit. Park (1771-1806) was widely recognized for leading groundbreaking expeditions on the River Niger into Africa's interior. The photograph also features an intriguing element of Dutch advertising for Cibils meat extract. Produced by a prominent company during that time period, this trade card adds a unique touch to the composition. However, it is important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use or endorse any specific brand. Park's exploration of Africa played a significant role in expanding geographical knowledge and understanding of the continent during that era. His journeys were marked by resilience and curiosity as he navigated through challenging terrains using water transport such as boats. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of Scotland's contribution to exploration and research worldwide. Mungo Park stands tall as an emblematic figure who fearlessly ventured into uncharted territories, leaving behind a lasting legacy in both geography and history. This remarkable print serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of discovery – capturing not only Mungo Park but also shedding light on the vibrant industries and trade networks that thrived during his time.
