Henry Morton Stanleys African expedition to relieve Emin Pasha, 1886-1889 (1887)
Henry Morton Stanleys African expedition to relieve Emin Pasha, 1886-1889 (1887). Emin Pasha, who was in the Egyptian service and Governor of the Equatorial Province, was isolated and surrounded by enemies. Stanley (1841-1904), shown here equipped with a Maxim machine gun, was sent to relieve him. Hiram Maxim developed the first fully automatic machine gun (1884) which he offered to the United States War and Navy departments. They refused him and he then offered it to the British and it was adopted by the War Office. By 1891 it was standard issue for the British Army. From The Illustrated London News. (London, 5 February 1887)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic African expedition led by Henry Morton Stanley in 1886-1889. The image showcases Stanley, a renowned explorer equipped with a groundbreaking Maxim machine gun, as he embarks on a mission to relieve Emin Pasha, the isolated and besieged Governor of the Equatorial Province. The photograph highlights both technological innovation and military prowess. Hiram Maxim's invention of the first fully automatic machine gun in 1884 revolutionized warfare. Initially rejected by the United States War and Navy departments, it was ultimately adopted by the British Army in 1891. Here, Stanley stands proudly beside this cutting-edge weapon that would soon become standard issue for British soldiers. The image not only symbolizes advancements in weaponry but also represents an era of exploration and discovery. As one gazes upon this monochrome depiction, they are transported back to the 19th century when intrepid explorers like Stanley ventured into uncharted territories across continents. Stanley's expedition serves as a testament to human resilience and determination amidst challenging circumstances. It is a reminder of our innate curiosity about distant lands and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. This remarkable engraving from The Illustrated London News provides us with a glimpse into history - an intersection between science, invention, technology, war strategy, and bravery. It immortalizes Sir Henry Morton Stanley's name alongside that of Sir Hiram Maxim - two men who played pivotal roles during this significant period in time.
