H. M. Stanleys Expedition crossing the Makata Swamp, Central
Engraving showing Sir Henry Morton Stanleys expedition crossing the Makata swamp in Central Africa, 1871. In October 1869, Stanley (1841-1904) was sent by James Gordon Bennett (owner of the New York Herald) to find Dr. David Livingstone, who had been exploring central Africa for several years without passing any communication to Europe. Two years later Stanley found Livingstone at Ujiji, Tanganika, and with it also fame and some fortune. Stanley led several further expeditions to Africa, the last of these in 1886 to find and relieve Emin Pasha. In 1892 he took British citizenship and was Unionist MP for Lambeth between 1895 and 1900

EDITORS COMMENTS
"This engraving depicts Sir Henry Morton Stanley's expedition crossing the Makata Swamp in Central Africa in October 1871. Stanley, a British explorer, was sent by James Gordon Bennett, the owner of the New York Herald, on a mission to find the missing Scottish doctor and missionary, David Livingstone, who had been exploring Central Africa since 1865 without any communication with Europe. Two years later, in 1872, Stanley located Livingstone at Ujiji, Tanganyika, bringing him fame and some fortune. Stanley led several expeditions to Africa, the last one in 1886 to find and relieve Emin Pasha. In 1892, Stanley took British citizenship and became the Unionist MP for Lambeth from 1895 to 1900. This historical image shows Stanley's expedition crossing the treacherous Makata Swamp during their search for Livingstone. Stanley's determination and success in locating Livingstone brought him international recognition and cemented his place in African exploration history."
