EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1883 takes us back to the thrilling adventures of renowned explorer Dr. David Livingstone in Africa. In this scene, we witness an intense encounter between man and beast as a group of brave missionaries navigate through treacherous waters on their mission to spread Christianity. The focal point is undoubtedly the massive hippopotamus charging towards their small boat, its powerful jaws wide open in a display of danger and dominance. The men stand firm, displaying both fear and determination in their eyes as they confront this formidable creature. Amidst the lush African landscape, with towering trees and exotic plants framing the riverbanks, we are reminded of the untamed beauty that awaited explorers like Livingstone at every turn. This image captures not only the physical challenges faced by these courageous individuals but also highlights their unwavering faith in God's protection amidst such perilous circumstances. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it serves as a reminder of mankind's relentless pursuit for knowledge and discovery during the 19th century. It symbolizes how exploration became intertwined with religion and how individuals like Livingstone risked everything to bring enlightenment to unknown lands. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness one moment within Livingstone's extraordinary life—a testament to his indomitable spirit and unyielding dedication to exploring uncharted territories while spreading his Christian beliefs
