EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous meeting between two legendary explorers, Henry Morton Stanley and David Livingstone. The scene takes place at Ujiji, on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, on November 10th, 1871. In this wood engraving from 1872 by Godefroy Durand, we witness the historic encounter that has become an iconic symbol of exploration. The image showcases the rugged beauty of Africa's landscape with a village in the background and a thatched roof hut in the foreground. Standing outside the hut is David Livingstone, an English explorer known for his extensive travels across Africa. He appears weary but determined as he greets Henry Morton Stanley. Stanley, an American journalist turned explorer, stands tall beside Livingstone with a rifle slung over his shoulder. His presence exudes confidence and respect for his fellow adventurer. Both men are dressed in traditional African attire to blend into their surroundings. A native African man looks on from behind them while holding a flag high above his head—a symbolic gesture representing unity and collaboration between cultures during this era of exploration. This wood engraving provides us with a glimpse into history—the meeting that would forever change our understanding of Africa's interior and solidify these men as pioneers in their field. It serves as a reminder of their courage and determination to push boundaries in pursuit of knowledge about uncharted territories—an enduring testament to human curiosity and resilience.
