Livingstone. . . - The Great Missionary-Explorer found by Stanley, 1870, (1901)
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a historic moment in the exploration of Africa. Taken in Ujiji on the shores of Lake Tanganyika on November 10th, 1871, it depicts the long-awaited meeting between two remarkable men: Henry Morton Stanley and David Livingstone. Stanley, a Welsh explorer and journalist sent to locate Livingstone after his mysterious disappearance due to illness, finally finds him. As they stand face-to-face in this image frozen in time, Stanley extends his hand towards Livingstone with an air of reverence. It is said that he greeted him with the now-famous words: "Dr Livingstone, I presume?". The significance of this encounter cannot be overstated. Livingstone was a Scottish missionary and African explorer who dedicated his life to uncovering the mysteries of this vast continent. His tireless efforts paved the way for future explorers and shed light on its diverse cultures and landscapes. In contrast, Stanley's arrival marked a turning point in their shared mission as he brought news from the outside world to Livingstone's isolated existence. This meeting symbolizes not only their individual accomplishments but also represents a bridge between continents - America meets Africa. Preserved through time by an unknown creator, this photograph serves as a testament to human curiosity and resilience. It reminds us of our boundless capacity for discovery while honoring those who dared venture into uncharted territories for knowledge and understanding.
