EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing "The Livingstone Expedition" engraved by the English School in the 19th century. The image takes us back to May 25,1861, when this remarkable illustration was featured in The Illustrated London News. In this scene, we witness an array of ships gracefully entering the enchanting waters surrounding Mayotta Island. Boats of various sizes dot the maritime landscape as they navigate through treacherous reefs. Among them is the HMS Sidon, acting as a tugboat and transporting Dr. Livingstone's expedition party. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement as these brave pioneers embark on their perilous journey upriver towards Kongone River. However, tragedy strikes as one boat from the expedition becomes wrecked on a reef. Despite this setback, their determination remains unyielding. This engraving not only showcases the challenges faced by explorers but also highlights their resilience and unwavering spirit. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our innate desire to push boundaries. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece brought to life through Bridgeman Images' meticulous preservation work, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand both triumphs and tribulations that shaped our understanding of uncharted territories.
