Victorian and Edwardian travellers who ventured into little-known parts of the world formed essential links between the early pioneer geographical and scientific explorers, and modern tourists of today. While they were generally cultured people, interested in making useful observations in the areas they visited, they often indulged in travel for its own sake, devoting much of their lives to it almost as an addiction. Aubyn Bernard Rochfort Trevor-Battye (Figure 1) was just such a person. He was a gentleman of means who spent much time travelling, and can be considered a minor explorer. He excelled as an observer of peoples and wildlife; he was an adequate draughtsman, and his writing holds the attention of the reader though it lacks finesse. Of his verse, possibly the less said the better. |
