EXPLORATIONS IN AFRICA BY
EXPLORATIONS IN AFRICA BY LIVINGSTONE 1ST ED. 1872Included in this lot is a Rare First Edition of, "Explorations in Africa" by Dr. David Livingstone and others. David Livingstone (1813-1873) was a Scottish Missionary and medical doctor who explored much of the interior of Africa. In a remarkable journey in 1853-56, he became the first European to cross the African continent, starting on the Zambezi River, he traveled north and west across Angola to reach the Atlantic at Luanda. On his return journey, he followed the Zambezi to its mouth on the Indian Ocean in present-day Mozambique. Livingstone’s most famous expedition was in 1866-73, when he was believed lost. Both the Royal Geographical Society and the sensationalist New York Herald organized expeditions to find him. Henry M. Stanley (1841-1901), a British born reporter, who was to become a noted explorer in his own right. Led the Herald’s expedition. On November 10, 1871, Stanley found Livingstone in the town of Ujiji, on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, in present day Tanzania. News of the discovery caused a worldwide sensation. This book, which appeared in Chicago in 1872, was part of the efforts by publishers to capitalize on the demand from the public for information about Livingstone and Stanley and about Africa in general. This brown cloth stamped illustration gold gilt hardcover book is in good overall condition, cover exhibits scuffing and tears on edges, spine is loose and attached.

French Relief-Cast Metal
French Relief-Cast Metal Architectural Plaque, possibly an illustration of a journey's beginning by Stanley and Livingstone, early 20th century, with a bronze patinated-type surface, featuring a beautifully cast and detailed narrative portraying Africans, including women and children on a beach with tent and palm trees, European gentlemen consulting a map and pointing the way while the Africans form a procession loaded with goods on their backs, and an African mother and baby beckoning the way with the eclipsing sun on the horizon, h. 9-3/4", w. 42-1/2". Possibly originally part of an architectural frieze with this section representative of a complete narrative; the clothing and particularly the hats on the two African men are reminiscent of a style known to be from the Ivory Coast of Africa. Of additional interest is that David Livingstone arrived in Africa in 1840 with two goals: to explore the continent and to end the slave trade. In 1864 he returned to Africa and mounted an expedition in the hopes of discovering the source of the Nile River.
