This print captures a significant moment in history - Stanley and his expedition's first sighting of Tanganyika, East Africa, in 1872. The illustration, taken from the book "The World in the Hands" published in 1878 by Emile Antoine Bayard, depicts the Welsh journalist and explorer Henry Morton Stanley leading his team through uncharted territories. In this scene, we witness Stanley's entourage consisting of male porters and indigenous guides celebrating their arrival at the riverbank of Tanganyika. The American flag proudly flutters in the background, symbolizing their triumph as they navigate through unfamiliar lands. This image serves as a testament to Victorian-era exploration and colonialism.
