When Sir Albert Hall first left the comfort of his beloved England to document the strange and disquieting creatures of the dark continent in 1890, it mattered not to him that countless men had beaten him to it by many decades.

His adventure forever changed how expeditions were planned, prepared for, executed & abandoned.
