Commander Verney Lovett Cameron, explorer, 1878. Artist: Lock & Whitfield
Commander Verney Lovett Cameron, explorer, 1878. In 1872, Cameron was appointed commander of an expedition to Africa with the objective of locating David Livingstone, and then carrying out exploration based on Livingstones advice. However, after arriving in Africa, the expedition learned that Livingstone was dead. Cameron then determined to attempt to make the first complete crossing of the continent by a European. Despite considerable hardships, this objective was achieved, covering a distance of nearly 3000 miles on foot between the eastern and western shores, and discovering the sources of the Zambezi in the process. In 1876 he returned to Britain to considerable acclaim and a promotion to the rank of Commander, and wrote an account of his travels entitled Across Africa. Cameron later undertook further expeditions to Asia, and to West Africa with Richard Burton. From Men of Mark: a gallery of contemporary portraits of men distinguished in the Senate, the Church, in science, literature and art, the army, navy, law, medicine, etc. Photographed from life by Lock and Whitfield, with brief biographical notices by Thompson Cooper. (Conducted by G. C. Whitfield.) (London, 1876-1883)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Commander Verney Lovett Cameron, the renowned explorer of the late 19th century. In 1872, Cameron embarked on a daring expedition to Africa with the primary objective of locating David Livingstone, the famous missionary and explorer. However, upon reaching Africa, they received the heartbreaking news that Livingstone had passed away. Undeterred by this setback, Cameron made a bold decision to become the first European to complete a full crossing of the African continent. Enduring immense hardships along his journey, he covered an astonishing distance of nearly 3000 miles on foot between the eastern and western shores. Along this arduous route, he also discovered the sources of Zambezi River. Cameron's remarkable achievements did not go unnoticed back in Britain. In 1876, he returned home to great acclaim and was promoted to Commander for his extraordinary accomplishments. He penned an enthralling account of his travels titled "Across Africa" which further solidified his status as one of history's greatest explorers. Not content with just conquering Africa, Cameron went on to undertake additional expeditions in Asia and West Africa alongside Richard Burton. His insatiable thirst for discovery led him into uncharted territories across continents. This print showcases Commander Verney Lovett Cameron at a pivotal moment in his illustrious career as an intrepid explorer who fearlessly pushed boundaries and expanded our understanding of distant lands and cultures.
