EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases James Bruce, a remarkable Scottish traveller and travel writer who lived from 1730 to 1794. Known for his adventurous spirit and insatiable curiosity, Bruce was also a diplomat, explorer, and geographer. This illustration is taken from "The Great Mariners of the 18th century" one of the three volumes of "Histoire generale des grands voyages et des grands voyageurs" by Jules Verne. In this portrait, we see Bruce's determined face gazing into the distance, reflecting his unwavering dedication to exploration and discovery. His journey took him across Africa, where he immersed himself in its diverse cultures and landscapes. As an avid writer and author, Bruce documented his experiences with great detail and insight. This engraving captures not only Bruce's physical appearance but also the essence of his intellectual pursuits. He was known as a learned man with a deep understanding of geography and history. His contributions to literature were significant during the 18th century when travel writing began gaining popularity. As we admire this image from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are reminded of James Bruce's enduring legacy as both an adventurer and scholar. His thirst for knowledge pushed boundaries while shedding light on distant lands that were yet unexplored by many Europeans at that time.
