The Followers of Dr. Livingstone Carry His Embalmed Body to the Coast - A Glimpse into British Imperialism in the Nineteenth Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by Walter Stanley Paget, offers a poignant visual representation of the colonial era and the influence of British imperialism. The scene depicts a solemn procession as devoted followers of renowned explorer Dr. David Livingstone carry his embalmed body towards the coast. The image is an illustration from Edgar Sanderson's book, "The British Empire in the Nineteenth Century" published in 1898. It serves as a powerful reminder of Britain's dominance during this period and its impact on far-flung colonies across the globe. Intriguingly, this print captures both admiration for Dr. Livingstone's exploratory achievements and reflects upon European fascination with Africa during that time. The followers' determination to transport their revered leader's remains back to Europe symbolizes their unwavering loyalty and commitment to preserving his legacy. Moreover, this lithograph showcases coastal scenery along with maritime elements, emphasizing Britain's strong naval presence throughout its vast empire. The coastline acts as a metaphorical gateway connecting distant lands to imperial powerhouses like Great Britain. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, it invites us to reflect on themes such as colonialism, cultural exchange, exploration, and human ambition within the context of nineteenth-century Europe. It encapsulates not only an important moment in history but also raises questions about how our world has evolved
