EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic meeting between renowned explorer David Livingstone and journalist-explorer Henry Morton Stanley in Ujiji, Africa on October 27th, 1871. The image is a trade card advertisement for Poulain chocolate, showcasing the remarkable encounter that took place during Livingstone's expedition. In this scene of utmost significance, Dr. Livingstone and Stanley are depicted shaking hands amidst the African landscape. This iconic moment has become synonymous with exploration and adventure, as it represents the intersection of two great minds dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of uncharted territories. The advertisement not only promotes Poulain chocolate but also serves as a reminder of Europe's imperialistic ambitions during the 19th century. It symbolizes colonialism and its impact on Africa's history while highlighting male portraits associated with power dynamics prevalent at that time. The phrase "Dr. Livingstone, I presume" echoes through time as an emblematic expression capturing Stanley's astonishment upon finding Livingstone alive after years without contact from civilization. This encounter became one of the most celebrated events in exploration history. Beyond its commercial purpose, this print offers us a glimpse into a pivotal moment when two extraordinary individuals met against all odds in pursuit of knowledge and discovery. It invites us to reflect on their contributions to our understanding of Africa's vast landscapes while acknowledging both their achievements and the complex historical context surrounding them.
