Stanley and Tippoo Tib leaving Matadi, 1887
Engraving showing Sir Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904) (centre right on horse) and Tippoo Tib (1837-1905) (right of Stanley, with sword) leaving Matadi, on the Congo river, 1887. On the left of the image can be seen Stanleys porters carrying general baggage as well as the various parts of a sectional boat. Stanley was then undertaking an expedition to find and, if needs be, rescue the Emin Pasha, the Governor of the Egyptian Equatorial Province. Stanley succeeded in this enterprise, early in 1888. Tippoo Tib (1837-1905), whose real name was Hamid ibn Mohammed, was an African-Arab adventurer and warrior, who controlled a large section of Central Africa. His aid to Stanley and other European explorers was invaluable in their exploration and exploitation of the region

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical engraving captures the momentous departure of Sir Henry Morton Stanley and Tippoo Tib from Matadi in 1887, as they embarked on a daring expedition to find and rescue Emin Pasha. The image showcases Stanley astride his horse at the center, with Tippoo Tib by his side wielding a sword. On the left, Stanleys porters can be seen carrying essential baggage and parts of a sectional boat for their journey along the Congo River.
Tippoo Tib, an African-Arab adventurer known for controlling vast territories in Central Africa, played a crucial role in aiding European explorers like Stanley in their quests through the region. His assistance was invaluable to their exploration and exploitation efforts during this era of colonial expansion.
Stanley's successful mission to locate Emin Pasha early in 1888 was made possible by collaborations with figures like Tippoo Tib. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the intertwined histories of African and European individuals during this pivotal period of discovery and conquest.
The detailed depiction captured in this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into the challenges faced by these intrepid explorers as they ventured into uncharted territories, highlighting both the dangers and triumphs that marked their journeys.
