Stanley's commanding presence and steely determination are evident in this print, showcasing his relentless drive to conquer new frontiers despite the risks involved. His actions may be controversial by today's standards, but they speak to the extreme measures taken by explorers of the past to achieve their goals.
This image serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by early adventurers like Stanley and sheds light on the complex dynamics at play during colonial-era expeditions. It offers a glimpse into a tumultuous period of history when courage and brutality often went hand-in-hand on the path to discovery.
