The Meeting of David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley on Lake Tanganyika, November 3,1871
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving captures a significant moment in history when two great explorers crossed paths amidst the vastness of Africa. Illustrated by Edwin Hodder for his book "Heroes of Britain" in the late 19th century, this print depicts the encounter between Dr. David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley. The scene takes place at Ujiji on Lake Tanganyika, East Africa, on November 10th, 1871. As Stanley approaches Livingstone's campsite, he utters those famous words that have echoed through time: "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?". The meeting between these two extraordinary men marked a pivotal moment in their respective journeys and left an indelible mark on British exploration. Livingstone was a Scottish missionary and explorer who dedicated his life to uncovering the mysteries of Africa. His tireless efforts had captured the imagination of many back home in Great Britain. Meanwhile, Stanley—a Welsh-born American journalist—had been commissioned by The New York Herald to find Livingstone after years without contact. This engraving not only commemorates their historic encounter but also symbolizes the spirit of adventure and curiosity that drove these men forward into uncharted territories. It serves as a reminder of their immense contributions to our understanding of Africa's diverse cultures and landscapes. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to that fateful day on Lake Tanganyika—a meeting that forever changed the course of exploration and ignited imaginations around the world.
