EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the renowned Scottish explorer, David Livingstone (1813-1873), during the height of his African expedition in the late 19th century. Born in Scotland, Livingstone's insatiable curiosity and unwavering determination led him to leave his medical practice in Britain and embark on a mission to explore the unexplored African continent. Dressed in a formal suit, complete with a bow tie and a moustache, Livingstone gazes intently into the distance, a testament to his unyielding spirit and unwavering focus. In his hand, he holds a bow, a symbol of both his exploratory and missionary endeavors. The backdrop of this powerful image is a traditional African hut, signifying his integration into the continent's culture and his commitment to understanding its people. Livingstone's explorations played a pivotal role in the European colonization of Africa. His discoveries, including the source of the Nile River, brought the continent to the forefront of European consciousness and fueled the desire for further exploration and exploitation. However, Livingstone was also a humanitarian and a missionary, seeking to spread the gospel and improve the lives of the African people. This engraving, published in the Weekly Familiar Picturesque in 1876, captures the essence of Livingstone's legacy - a man of science, exploration, and faith, who left an indelible mark on both Africa and Europe. The vibrant colors of the image bring the historical figure to life, transporting us back to a time of great discovery and exploration.
