EDITORS COMMENTS
The colored engraving captures the somber moment of the Death of David Livingstone, a Scottish explorer who met his end in the village of Chief Chitambo's in 1873. The image depicts a group of men gathered around Livingstone as he succumbs to dysentery, highlighting the harsh realities faced by colonialists during this era of exploration and conquest.
Livingstone, known for his missionary work and efforts to abolish the slave trade in Africa, is portrayed as a hero in this scene despite his ultimate demise. The candlelit hut where he took his last breath serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers faced by European explorers venturing into the interior of the continent.
The engraving by Riov from The Illustrated World in 1882 brings to life this tragic moment in history with vivid colors that evoke both sympathy and admiration for Livingstone's dedication to his cause. It serves as a testament to the impact that one man can have on an entire nation, as Livingstone's legacy continues to be celebrated today.
This print not only commemorates Livingstone's death but also sheds light on the complex dynamics between indigenous peoples and European colonizers during this turbulent period. It stands as a powerful symbol of Victorian-era exploration and its lasting effects on both Africa and Europe.
