EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the exploration of Africa during the 19th century. In this illustration from "The World in the Hands" we witness Dr. David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley embarking on their daring expedition in 1872. Dr. Livingstone, proudly flying the English flag, takes his place at the helm of the first boat, while Stanley follows closely behind in his vessel adorned with the American flag. The scene is filled with excitement as they navigate through Tanzania's vast river system. As they row forward, local indigenous people line the riverbank, waving and cheering for these brave explorers who have come to their land. Their presence brings hope and curiosity to these native communities who are herding livestock nearby. This image encapsulates both departure and return - a celebration of colonial history intertwined with Victorian ideals of discovery and adventure. It serves as a testament to human resilience and determination in exploring uncharted territories. Engraved by Charles Barbant, this engraving beautifully captures not only an important historical event but also showcases Emile Antoine Bayard's artistic prowess. Preserved within private collections today, this print continues to inspire awe for those fascinated by African exploration and its impact on our understanding of world history.
