EDITORS COMMENTS
The historic meeting between Henry Morton Stanley and Dr David Livingstone in 19th century Africa captures a pivotal moment in the exploration of the continent. This print, sourced from Cassells Illustrated History of England, volume X, takes us back to that fateful encounter. In this monochrome engraving, we see two figures standing amidst a village backdrop. Sir Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904), known as Bula Matari or 'Breaker of Rocks', is depicted doffing his hat respectfully towards Dr David Livingstone (1813-1873). The image exudes an air of anticipation and respect as these renowned explorers come face-to-face. Livingstone, a legendary Scottish missionary and explorer who dedicated his life to uncovering the mysteries of Africa's interior, had been presumed lost during one of his expeditions. However, it was Stanley who finally located him on November 10th, 1871 near Lake Tanganyika with the famous words: "Dr Livingstone, I presume?". This powerful visual representation immortalizes their meeting - a significant moment that symbolizes both adventure and discovery. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination to unravel the unknown. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by an unknown creator from Heritage Images collection, we are transported back in time; reminded of the courage it took for these men to venture into uncharted territories. Their encounter forever etched in history continues to inspire generations worldwide.
