EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured illustration depicts an intimate moment between renowned Welsh-born American explorer, Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904), and his African companion, Kululu. The scene, believed to have been captured around the turn of the 20th century, shows Stanley in the clothing of an explorer, complete with a rifle and sword, while Kululu sits at his feet, holding a long, thin, rod-shaped object. Stanley, famed for his exploration of Central Africa and his search for the missing explorer, David Livingstone, is said to have met Kululu during his travels in the Congo Free State. The boy's attire, consisting only of a loin cloth, highlights the stark cultural contrast between the two figures. This evocative image, part of the Boswell collection, offers a glimpse into the complex and intriguing relationships that developed between European explorers and the local populations during the era of colonialism. The illustration, with its rich colours and intricate details, serves as a poignant reminder of a time when the world seemed ripe with discovery and adventure.
