EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of renowned Scottish missionary and explorer, David Livingstone. The image showcases Livingstone's house in Zanzibar, Tunisia, East Africa - a humble dwelling nestled amidst a picturesque landscape. Surrounded by towering trees and lush bushes, this rural setting exudes an air of tranquility and remoteness. It serves as a testament to Livingstone's adventurous spirit as he sought to explore uncharted territories in Africa during the Victorian era. The illustration was skillfully engraved by Henri Theophile Hildibrand, capturing every intricate detail of the scene. Published in 1878 as part of "The World in the Hands" this print offers viewers a window into history - an opportunity to witness one man's mission unfold against the backdrop of colonial times. Livingstone himself remains elusive within this artwork; his presence is felt through his residence rather than being physically depicted. This absence only adds to the allure surrounding this iconic figure who dedicated his life to exploration and spreading Christianity across Africa. As we gaze upon this historical engraving from Ken Welsh's private collection, we are transported back in time - invited to contemplate both Livingstone's remarkable journey and our own place within history.
