Doctor Living Stone Meeting Morton Stanley Ujiji Presume
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment when two legendary explorers, Dr. David Livingstone (1813-73) and Sir Henry Morton Stanley, met at Ujiji, Tanzania on November 10, 1871. Livingstone, a Scottish medical missionary and explorer, had spent decades in Africa, opening up the interior of the continent and bringing news of the great waterfall he had discovered, now known as Victoria Falls. Stanley, an American journalist and explorer, had been sent by the New York Herald to find the missing Livingstone and bring him back to the world. In this image, Livingstone, dressed in his trademark pith helmet and safari clothes, extends his hand in greeting to Stanley, who stands smartly in his European attire. The backdrop of the African landscape, with its lush vegetation and clear blue sky, underscores the sense of adventure and discovery that defined both men's lives. The meeting between Livingstone and Stanley was a significant moment in the history of exploration and the European colonization of Africa. It marked the end of Livingstone's long and arduous journey and the beginning of his return to Europe as a hero. The encounter also helped to cement Stanley's reputation as a fearless explorer and adventurer, and set the stage for his later expeditions in Africa. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of exploration and the enduring allure of the African continent, which continued to captivate the imaginations of adventurers and travelers for generations to come.
