EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historical print, we are transported back to the shores of Lake Victoria on the 31st of July, 1875. A group of resilient Africans can be seen carrying a boat overland, their strength and determination evident in every step. This vessel holds great significance as it was named 'Livingstone' by the intrepid Anglo-American explorer Henry Morton Stanley, paying homage to his Scottish predecessor David Livingstone. The black and white format adds a timeless quality to this landscape scene, allowing us to immerse ourselves in an era filled with exploration and adventure. The male figures stand tall against the backdrop of Africa's vast beauty, showcasing their bravery amidst unknown territories. As our eyes wander through this image, we catch sight of a weapon held firmly in one man's hand - a reminder that these explorations were not without danger. Guns served as both protection and tools for survival during expeditions into uncharted lands. This photograph captures the essence of Stanley's expeditionary spirit; his desire to delve into the heart of Africa echoed by those who carry his boat forward. It serves as a testament to human resilience and curiosity about distant lands. Originally published in The Illustrated London News in 1875, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history while igniting our imagination with tales from long ago.
