EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Sir Henry Morton Stanley was welcomed by Punch alongside Cleopatra's Needle on the Thames Embankment in 1878. A Welsh-American journalist and explorer, Stanley is best known for his daring expeditions through central Africa in search of the renowned missionary and explorer David Livingstone.
In this image, Stanley exudes an air of determination and courage as he stands beside the ancient obelisk that had been transported from Egypt to London. The juxtaposition of these two iconic figures - one a symbol of ancient civilization and the other a modern-day adventurer - highlights the intersection of past and present, tradition and progress.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when exploration was at its peak, when men like Stanley braved unknown territories in pursuit of knowledge and discovery. His legacy lives on through images like this one, reminding us of the indomitable spirit that drove him to explore the far reaches of Africa.
Through his remarkable journey, Sir Henry Morton Stanley left an indelible mark on history, inspiring generations to come with his fearless pursuit of adventure and discovery. This print serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of the greatest explorers of the 19th century.
