EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Mapping in the sand, Halfa to Shellal, Egypt, 1926 (1927)", takes us back to a remarkable moment in history. It is an artwork by Thomas A Glover and was featured in the book "Cape to Cairo" by Stella Court Treatt. The image transports us to the vast Sahara Desert in Egypt during the early 20th century. In this adventurous scene, we see a group of British explorers meticulously mapping their way through the challenging terrain. The men are dressed in traditional Arab headdresses and turbans as they navigate through the sandy dunes with determination. This photograph captures not only a physical journey but also represents an era of exploration and discovery. It symbolizes mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding about distant lands. As these brave individuals embark on their motor vehicle expedition from Cape Town to Cairo, they leave behind traces of their presence etched into the desert sands. The artistry of Thomas A Glover brings this historical moment alive with his detailed drawing skills showcased through this monochrome photogravure print. Through his work, we can almost feel the scorching heat of the desert sun and hear whispers carried by winds that have witnessed countless adventures throughout time. As we gaze at this print, we are reminded of Africa's rich geographical features and its allure for intrepid travelers seeking new frontiers. This artwork serves as both a testament to human resilience and an invitation for us all to explore our own uncharted territories - be it physical or metaphorical - just like those who came before us on their daring expeditions across continents.
