EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, Sir Henry Morton Stanley, the renowned Anglo-American journalist and explorer, is depicted sitting astride a Maxim Automatic Machine-Gun during his expedition to find and rescue Emin Pasha, the Governor of the Egyptian Equatorial Province, who had gone into hiding during the Mahdist Rising of 1886. At the time, Stanley was engaged by the British Government to lead the rescue mission. The year was 1887, and Stanley's expedition was the first to import the Maxim Automatic Machine-Gun into Africa. This advanced weapon, invented by Sir Hiram Maxim, was a game-changer in military technology and would prove to be a crucial asset in Stanley's mission. Stanley's career as an explorer began in 1874 when he was sent by the New York Herald to find the missing explorer, Dr. David Livingstone, in Africa. He famously greeted Livingstone with the words, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?". This encounter catapulted Stanley to international fame. However, it was his mission to rescue Emin Pasha that would solidify his place in history. The Mahdist Rising, led by the Mahdi, or "Sword of Allah," had resulted in the occupation of much of the Sudan, including the Equatorial Province. Emin Pasha, the Governor of the province, had gone into hiding, and Stanley was tasked with finding him and leading him to safety. The engraving shows Stanley, dressed in his explorer's attire, sitting confidently on the Maxim Gun, ready to face any challenges that may come their way. The image captures the spirit of adventure and determination that defined Stanley's career as an explorer and journalist. This historical moment in time marks a significant milestone in both African and military history.
