Henry Morton Stanley, African explorer, 1880. Artist: Lock & Whitfield
Henry Morton Stanley, African explorer, 1880. Stanley was sent by the New York Herald to look for Dr Livingstone, who had been lost for two years in central Africa. Stanley met Livingstone in 1871, and stayed with him until early 1872. Livingstone then set off on another journey and never came back. Stanleys greatest journey was the crossing of Africa to the Atlantic which took him from 1874-1877. He again crossed Africa in 1887-1889, and in doing so contributed to laying the boundaries of what would become Uganda and Kenya. His publications How I found Livingstone and Through the Dark Continent gave detailed accounts of his travels. From Men of Mark: a gallery of contemporary portraits of men distinguished in the Senate, the Church, in science, literature and art, the army, navy, law, medicine, etc. Photographed from life by Lock and Whitfield, with brief biographical notices by Thompson Cooper. (Conducted by GC Whitfield.) (London, 1876-1883). (Colorised black and white print)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Henry Morton Stanley, the renowned African explorer, in 1880. Created by Lock & Whitfield, this colorized image brings to life the remarkable journey of a man who played a significant role in shaping Africa's history. Stanley gained worldwide fame when he was sent by the New York Herald to search for Dr. Livingstone, who had been missing for two years in central Africa. In 1871, Stanley finally met Livingstone and stayed with him until early 1872 before embarking on his own adventures. His most notable achievement came from crossing Africa to the Atlantic between 1874 and 1877. This daring expedition not only solidified his place as an intrepid explorer but also contributed to defining the boundaries of future nations like Uganda and Kenya during his subsequent crossing of Africa in 1887-1889. Stanley documented his extraordinary travels through publications such as "How I found Livingstone" and "Through the Dark Continent". These detailed accounts provided invaluable insights into unexplored territories while capturing readers' imaginations with tales of danger, discovery, and encounters with indigenous cultures. This print is part of "Men of Mark: a gallery of contemporary portraits" which immortalizes distinguished individuals across various fields. It serves as a testament to Stanley's indomitable spirit and unwavering determination that propelled him into becoming one of history's greatest explorers.
