EDITORS COMMENTS
The Graphic's Stanley Number: Mr. Stanley's Arrival at Gare Du Midi, Brussels, 1890, is a captivating photograph that documents a significant moment in the life of the legendary British explorer, Sir Henry Morton Stanley. The image, published in The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper in 1890, captures the arrival of Stanley at Brussels Railway Station, now known as Gare Du Midi, following his successful expedition to locate the missing explorer, Dr. David Livingstone, in Central Africa. Stanley, dressed in his explorer's attire, is depicted stepping off the train, greeted by a guard of honor consisting of Belgian soldiers. The background is filled with curious onlookers, including John Rowlands, Stanley's interpreter, who stands prominently in the crowd. The photograph is a testament to Stanley's fame and the widespread interest in his exploits. This image, taken during the Victorian era, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the transport infrastructure of the time, including the railway and the railway station. The photograph also highlights the cultural exchange between Britain and Belgium, as Stanley, a British explorer, is welcomed by Belgian soldiers in their home country. The photograph's provenance is unknown, but it is believed to have been published in The Graphic, an influential newspaper that played a significant role in shaping public opinion during the late 19th century. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, providing insights into the life of a legendary explorer and the world of the late 19th century.
