EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the departure of an expedition in search of the renowned explorer, Dr David Livingstone. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the bustling London docks as ships are prepared for this daring mission. The leaders of this ambitious endeavor, Lieutenant LS Dawson and Lieutenant W Henn, stand tall on the pier alongside their crew members. Their determined expressions reflect their unwavering commitment to finding Dr Livingstone and unraveling the mysteries of uncharted territories. As they bid farewell to civilization and embark on this perilous journey, one cannot help but feel a sense of anticipation and excitement emanating from this scene. The dockside is filled with activity as supplies are loaded onto the ship - a testament to meticulous planning and preparation required for such expeditions. The image also pays homage to Dr Livingstone himself; his presence looms large even though he is not physically present at that moment. His legacy as a fearless explorer who ventured into unknown lands precedes him, inspiring these brave men to undertake this arduous quest. This remarkable engraving transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the spirit of adventure that defined an era. It serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about our world.
