An original 1872 wood engraving – Sir Henry Morton Stanley, Henry Morton Stanley Meeting David Livingstone at Ujiji, Tanzania, Africa.

A large fold-out engraved illustration that was reproduced as a special supplement to the London Illustrated News on 10 August 1872.

The print depicts the moment that the Welsh-American journalist Henry Morton Stanley successfully located the Scottish explorer Dr David Livingstone in Ujiji in western Tanzania, who had been presumed lost for years. This is where Stanley allegedly delivered the immortal greeting, 'Dr Livingstone, I presume?'

There is a reproduction of Stanley's signature below the image and the description: 'This Engraving, for which I supplied the materials, represents my meeting with Dr. Livingstone at Ujiji, Lake Tanganyika; and is as corect as if the scene had been photographed.'

Engraved by H. Hall after H.M. Stanley.
