EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Notes of Dr Livingstone's Travels" takes us back to the adventurous explorations of the renowned British missionary and explorer, Dr. David Livingstone. Engraved by Josiah Wood Whymper in 1874, this artwork captures a pivotal moment during one of Livingstone's expeditions. In the image, we see a young Livingstone amidst a breathtaking wildlife scene as he navigates through Lake Ngami on a small boat. The tranquility is disrupted by an unexpected encounter with a majestic lion, causing his travelling procession to halt momentarily. This interruption adds an element of suspense and danger to the narrative. Livingstone's exploration was not without its challenges; here we witness another obstacle as their boat capsizes after being robbed by unknown assailants. However, undeterred by these setbacks, our brave protagonist continues his journey towards uncharted territories. The engraving beautifully portrays the African landscape teeming with life - from grazing hippos in the distance to lush vegetation surrounding them. It highlights both the beauty and dangers that awaited explorers like Livingstone during their quests for knowledge and discovery. This historic artwork serves as a testament to Dr. David Livingstone's unwavering determination and courage in unraveling Africa's mysteries while spreading his missionary work across continents. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history and appreciate the remarkable achievements made during this era of exploration.
