Stanley meets Livingstone. Historical artwork of the legendary meeting between Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904) and David Livingstone (1813-1873) in Africa in 1871. The Anglo-American journalist and explorer Stanley (at left) went to Africa to find the Scottish missionary and explorer Livingstone. He arranged a large expedition to Ujiji,a town on Lake Tanganyika (present-day Tanzania) where tales told of a white man. On 10 November 1871,Stanley unfurled the American flag and marched into Ujiji,firing guns in a show of strength. At the meeting,unsure of how to greet him,he raised his hat and said "Dr Livingstone I presume?". Stanley returned home. Livingstone stayed and died in Africa | |
