Henry Morton Stanley, Welsh journalist and explorer, late 19th or early 20th century
Henry Morton Stanley, Welsh journalist and explorer, late 19th or early 20th century. Stanley (1841-1904) 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Henry Morton Stanley, a Welsh journalist and explorer who left an indelible mark on the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known for his extraordinary expeditions across Africa, Stanley's most renowned mission was to find Dr. Livingstone, a famed explorer who had been lost in central Africa for two years. In 1871, Stanley accomplished his monumental task when he finally met Livingstone after an arduous journey. The two explorers spent several months together before parting ways as Livingstone embarked on another adventure from which he would never return. Stanley's own incredible journeys included crossing Africa to reach the Atlantic Ocean between 1874 and 1877. His subsequent expedition in 1887-1889 contributed significantly to defining the boundaries of future nations such as Uganda and Kenya. With his distinguished moustache and determined gaze, this monochrome portrait showcases Stanley's resolute spirit that propelled him through uncharted territories. Through his publications "How I found Livingstone" and "Through the Dark Continent". Stanley provided vivid accounts of his travels that captivated readers worldwide. Henry Morton Stanley remains an iconic figure in British history, symbolizing exploration, adventure, and discovery during the Victorian era. This photograph serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Britain's greatest explorers whose contributions shaped our understanding of Africa's vast landscapes and cultures.
