EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Dr Livingstone's Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa" takes us on a visual journey back to the 19th century. The print showcases an array of wildlife encounters, treacherous boat rides, and the tireless efforts of Dr David Livingstone. In this scene, we witness a young Dr Livingstone amidst his exploration mission in South Africa. His travelling procession is interrupted by a tribal reception led by Shinte, as they attempt to drag him away from his researches. As if that wasn't enough excitement already, lurking in the background are lions, buffalos, and even a hippopotamus - reminding us of the dangers faced during these expeditions. The image also captures Major Vardon and Mr Oswell valiantly rescuing Dr Livingstone after their boat capsized while crossing treacherous waters. This moment highlights both the perils faced during transportation and the unwavering determination of these explorers. Through this engraving, we get a glimpse into the challenges encountered by missionaries like Dr Livingstone as they sought to understand and connect with different cultures while conducting vital research. It serves as a testament to their bravery and commitment towards expanding knowledge about South Africa's diverse wildlife and communities. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this historical artwork continues to inspire curiosity about our past adventures in uncharted territories.
