<p>A summary of the following presentation was delivered by Dave Hawkins to an audience of LAHS members at the AGM in October 2021.</p> <p>[From the introduction] <em>'Life of o Traveller' </em>was the title of an 1873 presentation made by Baines to the Grey Institute in Port Elizabeth. Ever a modest man, he did not describe himself as an explorer, nor even as an artist. He stated he was <em>'driven by the adventure of Travel.' </em>It is true that he never led an expedition, never made any major discovery, never thought of himself as a great artist - rather, his goal was to represent in words and images what he had seen and experienced. And he did it so, so well. It is through him that we can visualise what it was like during the 1840s to 1870s - in Southern and Central Africa, as well as in Tropical Northern Australia.</p>Rod Hooper-Box
