EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures Colonel Charles B. Euan-Smith, C.B. C.S.I., Her Majesty's Consul General at Zanzibar, as he received the renowned explorer, Henry Morton Stanley, upon his arrival at the island in 1890. The image is taken from 'The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper,' Volume 41, January to June, 1890. Colonel Euan-Smith, with his thick, well-groomed beard, exudes an air of authority and sophistication. His piercing gaze and serious expression convey a sense of importance and dignity befitting his diplomatic role. The Consul General's military background is evident in his uniform, complete with decorations and insignia. This photograph offers a glimpse into the Victorian era, a time of exploration, expansion, and imperialism. The meeting between Stanley and Euan-Smith marked a significant moment in the history of British colonialism in Africa. Stanley's famous quote, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" upon finding the missing explorer, had captured the world's imagination and solidified his place in history. The image is a testament to the power of photography as a means of documenting history and capturing the essence of individuals and their stories. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but their work continues to provide valuable insights into the people and events of the 19th century.
