EDITORS COMMENTS
Stanley Number: The Meeting of Livingstone and Stanley in Central Africa, 1890 This photograph, titled "The Meeting of Livingstone and Stanley in Central Africa," is an iconic image from the late 19th century, taken from the pages of "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," Volume 41, published between January and June of 1890. The image captures a historic moment in African exploration and British colonial history: the meeting of the famous explorers Dr. David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley. The scene is set in Central Africa, likely near Ujiji, Tanganyika (now part of Tanzania, East Africa). Dr. Livingstone, a Scottish missionary and explorer, had been searching for the source of the Nile River since 1841. He was discovered by Stanley in 1871, who was sent by the British press to find him and bring him back to England. The photograph shows a group of men gathered around the two explorers. Livingstone, dressed in a suit and hat, sits on a chair, while Stanley, wearing a safari jacket and holding a cigar, stands beside him. John Rowlands, an interpreter, is also present, and several other African men can be seen in the background. The image is a testament to the era of Victorian-era exploration and colonialism in Africa. It symbolizes the meeting of two great figures in African exploration and the beginning of British influence in the region. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the past and the people who shaped it. The photograph's creator is unknown, but it is a reminder of the important role that newspapers played in documenting and disseminating news and information during this period. It is an essential addition to any collection of African exploration history or 19th-century photography.
