EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical engraving captures the iconic meeting between Sir Henry Morton Stanley and David Livingstone in Tanganyika on 10th November 1871. The image shows Stanley, a British-American explorer and journalist, on the left raising his hat in greeting to Livingstone, the Scottish missionary and explorer, who reciprocates the gesture on the right.
Stanley had been sent by James Gordon Bennett to find Livingstone, who had not been in contact with other Europeans for some time. This momentous encounter marked a significant event in history as it brought together two renowned figures from different backgrounds but with a shared passion for exploration and discovery.
The expressions of respect and admiration on their faces speak volumes about the mutual regard they held for each other. It is a snapshot frozen in time that symbolizes unity, friendship, and collaboration despite cultural differences.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the importance of human connection and understanding across borders. It serves as a reminder of how individuals can come together to achieve great things when united by common goals and aspirations.
