EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching captures the essence of Sir Henry Morton Stanley, a renowned Welsh-born explorer and journalist. Created by Hubert von Herkomer in 1890, this print showcases Stanley's determined gaze and rugged features, reflecting his adventurous spirit. Stanley, originally known as John Rowlands, made history with his extraordinary expeditions through the heart of Africa. His most famous achievement was finding the missing Scottish missionary David Livingstone in 1871 after an extensive search that lasted several months. This encounter gave rise to the iconic phrase "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" which has become synonymous with their meeting. The etching beautifully portrays Stanley's resilience and determination as he ventured into uncharted territories of Central Africa. With his exploration work often intertwined with journalism, he brought back valuable knowledge about African cultures and geography to European audiences. This print from The Graphic magazine serves as a testament to Stanley's significant contributions to geographical discovery during the late 19th century. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era when intrepid explorers like him pushed boundaries in pursuit of knowledge and adventure. Displayed within private collections today, this historic artwork continues to inspire admiration for Sir Henry Morton Stanley's courage and unwavering commitment to uncovering new frontiers on our planet.
