EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of Stanley's attack on Zimbizo during his historic expedition in 1871. Illustrated by Henri Theophile Hildibrand and published in 1878, this engraving is a powerful depiction of one of the most significant events in African exploration history. Intriguingly titled "The World in the Hands" this artwork portrays Henry Morton Stanley, a Welsh journalist and explorer, as he fearlessly leads his military force against Zimbizo. Dressed in traditional Victorian British colonial attire, complete with a pith helmet, Stanley stands at the forefront of the battle. With guns blazing and rifles firing, both sides engage fiercely amidst a native village settlement. This image serves as a testament to the imperialistic ambitions that drove explorers like Stanley during this era. Notably, an American flag proudly waves alongside the British forces' presence, symbolizing their shared pursuit of expansionism. The stars and stripes remind us that imperialism was not limited to one nation alone. As we delve into Tanzania's rich history through this illustration from Emile Antoine Bayard's private collection, we are transported back to an era defined by exploration and conquest. It reminds us of the bravery exhibited by these early adventurers who risked everything for discovery. This remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter in human history – one where cultures collided and boundaries were pushed beyond imagination.
