EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "David Livingstone: 'His canoe was upset by a hippopotamus'" transports us back to the 19th century, where we witness an extraordinary encounter in Central Africa. The English School's color lithograph captures the dramatic moment when David Livingstone's canoe is overturned by a powerful hippopotamus. As we delve into this scene, we are reminded of Livingstone's remarkable life as a missionary, explorer, and philanthropist. This illustration comes from Arthur Lincoln's book on Livingstone, shedding light on his adventures and contributions to society. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring to life the African landscape surrounding this incident. We can almost feel the tension in the air as wildlife thrives around them. The presence of other boats and a tugboat hints at the importance of transportation during that era. Livingstone himself stands out amidst this chaos - a doctor and practitioner dedicated to improving health conditions for Africans through his missions. His bravery shines through as he faces unexpected challenges like encounters with wild animals. This print not only serves as an artistic representation but also provides historical insight into one man's journey through uncharted territories. It reminds us of our shared fascination with exploration and our admiration for those who dedicate their lives to making positive change in unfamiliar lands.
