EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "David Livingstone, Scottish Explorer: Livingstone through a Swamp with a Porter," was published in The Illustrated World in 1882. The image depicts the renowned Scottish explorer, Dr. David Livingstone (1813-1873), making his way through an African swamp, accompanied by a local porter. Livingstone's expedition to Africa in 1872 was a significant moment in the European exploration and colonization of the African continent. The image captures the essence of the arduous and often challenging conditions that explorers faced during their expeditions. Livingstone, dressed in his explorer's attire, is seen wearing a moustache, which was a common feature among European explorers of the time. He is shown carrying a small bag, while his porter, an African man, carries a larger load on his head. The porter's determination and resilience are evident as he navigates the muddy and treacherous swamp terrain. The engraving, created by the skilled hand of Charles Laplante, provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when European powers were actively exploring and colonizing Africa. The image also highlights the role of local porters in the exploration process, who played a crucial role in carrying supplies and equipment for the European explorers. Despite the challenges, Livingstone's expedition led to the discovery of numerous geographical features in Africa, including the famous Victoria Falls. This engraving is a testament to Livingstone's courage and determination, as well as the enduring legacy of European exploration and colonization of Africa in the 19th century.
