Lake Malawi fishing and war tree. Illustration of fishing on Lake Malawi (Lake Nyassa) and trophy human heads on a war tree. This area in what is now Malawi was visited by British missionary and explorer David Livingstone (1813-1873) in 1859. Livingstone was ordained in 1840. He explored southern Africa, travelled along the Zambesi River, and discovered and named the Victoria Falls. He mapped parts of Africa's interior, wrote accounts of the native peoples, and campaigned against slavery. Lauded as a hero in Victorian Britain, he died in Africa. Artwork from 'The Life and Explorations of Dr Livingstone', first published in around 1870.
