EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving captures the harrowing moment when Dr. David Livingstone, the Scottish missionary and explorer, was viciously attacked by a lion in the Mabotsa Valley of Africa in 1843. Despite facing this life-threatening danger, Livingstone's unwavering strength and determination to spread his missionary ideals drove him to continue his extensive explorations of Central Africa.
Known as the discoverer of Victoria Falls, Livingstone's historical significance cannot be overstated. His tireless efforts to uncover the source of the Nile led him on countless expeditions through uncharted territories, ultimately culminating in his tragic death in Zambia in 1873.
In this image, we see Livingstone bravely confronting nature at its most ferocious. The intensity of the scene is palpable as he fights for survival against a formidable foe. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of Livingstone's indomitable spirit and enduring legacy in African history.
As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Mary Evans Prints Online, we are transported back to a time when exploration was fraught with peril and discovery held immense importance. It is a testament to the courage and resilience of one man who dared to venture into unknown lands in pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment.
