EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the exploration of Africa, showcasing the meeting between two renowned figures - David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley. The image depicts the encounter that took place on November 10,1871, at Ujiji, Lake Tanganyika. David Livingstone, a Scottish missionary and explorer who dedicated his life to uncovering the mysteries of Africa's interior, stands tall with an air of determination. His presence exudes resilience as he holds a rifle firmly by his side. On the other hand, Henry Morton Stanley, an Englishman known for his adventurous spirit and colonial pursuits in Africa, approaches Livingstone with curiosity and respect. The scene is set against a backdrop of an African village with its traditional thatched roofs peeking through trees. Native tribesmen observe from afar while holding spears - their expressions reflecting both caution and intrigue towards these foreign visitors. This wood engraving beautifully captures not only this significant meeting but also highlights the complex dynamics between European explorers and native Africans during this era of colonialism. It serves as a visual testament to Livingstone's Protestant missionary work in Africa as well as Stanley's role in establishing British colonies on the continent. Godefroy Durand's meticulous artistry brings this historical event to life once again through intricate details such as clothing styles and facial expressions.
