EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Starting of the Livingstone Searching Expedition on the Zambesi" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the beginning of an extraordinary journey that would forever change our understanding of East Africa. Intriguingly, this illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on October 5th, 1867. It depicts renowned explorer David Livingstone and his companion Henry Morton Stanley embarking on their ambitious quest along the mighty Zambesi River. The scene is filled with anticipation as boats and a tugboat gather around to transport Livingstone and his team into uncharted territories. The meticulous details bring life to each vessel, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship involved in creating these essential modes of transportation for such expeditions. As we delve into this image, we can't help but imagine the sense of adventure that must have coursed through their veins. This expedition aimed not only to uncover new lands but also sought to locate Dr. Livingstone himself who had been missing for years at that point. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical artwork from their private collection, allowing us a glimpse into a pivotal moment where exploration met determination amidst vast African landscapes.
