Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904), Anglo-American journalist and explorer. Stanley was sent by the New York Herald in 1869 to find the Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone (1813-1873). Stanley found the ill Livingstone in Ujiji, Tanzania, in 1871, and nursed him back to health, and then explored the region with him. Stanley returned to Europe in 1872, but Livingstone stayed on and died on an expedition the next year. In later trips, Stanley explored the River Congo and helped found the Congo Free State. Artwork from the 5th volume (first period of 1890) of the French popular science weekly 'La Science Illustree'.
