EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of Carl Lumholtz, a renowned traveller and author. The portrait, created by G. Vuillier, is an exquisite representation of Lumholtz's adventurous spirit and intellectual prowess. Lumholtz was not just an ordinary explorer; he delved into the uncharted territories of Australia's northeast from 1880 to 1884. His remarkable journey among cannibalistic tribes formed the basis for his gripping story titled "Chez les cannibales". This engraving was specifically commissioned to illustrate Lumholtz's enthralling narrative in the prestigious publication "Le Tour du Monde" directed by Edouard Charton. The artist has skillfully captured Lumholtz's rugged features, hinting at the hardships he endured during his exploration. With a gaze that exudes determination and curiosity, Lumholtz appears as both a fearless adventurer and a contemplative writer. This print serves as a testament to Lumholtz's contribution to literature and exploration alike. It immortalizes him as an influential figure who fearlessly ventured into unknown lands, documenting his encounters with indigenous cultures along the way. Preserved in private collection today, this engraving offers us a glimpse into history—a reminder of those intrepid individuals who dedicated their lives to unraveling the mysteries of our world.
