EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical caricature print titled "Livingstone Found / Hornet" offers a somewhat disrespectful depiction of the momentous occasion when explorer Henry Morton Stanley finally located Dr. David Livingstone in Africa in 1871. Created by an unknown caricaturist for the publication The Hornet, this cartoon from November captures the suspicion of media hype surrounding the event.
In the image, we see Stanley approaching Livingstone with a look of skepticism on his face, while Livingstone appears surprised and slightly offended by his demeanor. The exaggerated features and comical expressions used by the artist add a sense of humor to what was undoubtedly a significant moment in exploration history.
Despite its irreverent tone, this caricature serves as a reminder of how even groundbreaking events can be subject to scrutiny and parody in the media. It also reflects the public's fascination with these larger-than-life figures and their adventures in far-off lands.
Overall, this print is not only a humorous take on a pivotal moment in history but also a commentary on how news and events were portrayed during that time. It offers viewers a unique perspective on an iconic meeting between two legendary explorers that continues to capture imaginations to this day.
