EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Verney Lovett Cameron, an English explorer who ventured into the heart of Central Africa during the late 19th century. Born in Radipole near Weymouth, Dorset, Cameron embarked on a remarkable expedition to Africa from 1872 to 1875. However, this particular moment frozen in time showcases a perilous encounter his party faced with a fierce buffalo. Cameron's significance lies not only in his daring exploration but also in being chosen by the prestigious Royal Geographical Society for a crucial mission: to find Dr. David Livingstone. Unfortunately, fate played its hand as he arrived after Livingstone's passing. Undeterred by this setback, Cameron pressed forward and meticulously traced the Congo-Zambesi watershed over vast distances. The engraving featured here originates from Le Journal de la Jeunesse (Paris, c1879), offering us a glimpse into Cameron's extraordinary journey through Central Africa. His determination led him to explore the southern half of Lake Tanganyika—a feat that expanded our understanding of this majestic body of water. Verney Lovett Cameron's legacy as an intrepid British explorer endures through images like these—reminders of his unwavering spirit and thirst for discovery. This photograph serves as both a testament to his courage and an invitation for us to delve into the rich history of African exploration during this era.
