EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a pivotal moment in the historic Anglo-American expedition led by Sir Henry Morton Stanley in Central Africa, specifically on the Congo River in February 1877. In the foreground, Stanley, dressed in a white jacket and cap, can be seen in his boat, the Lady Alice, engaged in battle against the war-canoes of the Bangala or Mangala tribe. The Bangala were a formidable force, known for their fierce resistance to European exploration and exploitation of the region. Stanley's expedition, which took place between 1874 and 1877, aimed to locate and establish contact with the missing explorer, David Livingstone, and to explore the Congo Basin. However, this encounter with the Bangala marked a significant turning point in the expedition, as Stanley's forces were outnumbered and outgunned. Despite the odds, Stanley's determination and leadership led to a victory for his expedition. The engraving shows the intensity of the battle, with the spray from the water and the smoke from the guns creating a chaotic scene. The importance of this event in Stanley's expedition cannot be overstated, as it allowed him to continue his exploration of the Congo Basin and ultimately, to locate Livingstone. This historical image, published by ILN in 1878, provides a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of one of the most famous exploratory expeditions in history. The courage and determination of Stanley and his men in the face of adversity continue to inspire and captivate audiences today.
