EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured photograph, believed to be taken around the turn of the 20th century, depicts an intriguing moment in the history of exploration. The central figure, dressed in a suit and wearing a top hat, is believed to be Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904), the Welsh-born American explorer renowned for his daring expeditions in Africa. Stanley is surrounded by a group of African men and women, many of whom are adorned with headwraps and colourful shawls. The subjects are arranged in neat rows, some sitting and others standing, creating a striking visual composition. Stanley's encounter with these individuals is a poignant reminder of the complex relationships that developed between European explorers and the people they encountered during their travels. Stanley's famous quote, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" was uttered during his search for the missing missionary, David Livingstone, in Central Africa in 1871. The photograph offers a glimpse into the cultural exchange that took place during this time, as well as the power dynamics that shaped the encounter between Europeans and Africans. The photograph, part of the Boswell collection, is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the rich and complex history of exploration and cultural interaction. The use of hand-colouring adds an artistic touch to the image, making it a captivating and visually striking representation of a significant moment in history.
