In 1873, Livingstone tragically succumbed to dysentery in the village of Tchitammbo, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy. This image is part of "Livingstone's last voyage 1866-1873" featured in "Tour du Monde" a publication from the second semester of 1875. The photograph, taken by an unknown artist from the 19th century and now housed in a private collection, transports us to that fateful night in Africa.

Leonard de Selva expertly captured this poignant moment through photography, allowing us to witness history unfold before our eyes. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Livingstone's remarkable contributions but also of the perils faced by explorers who ventured into unfamiliar territories. This print serves as both a tribute to David Livingstone's indomitable spirit and a testament to humanity's insatiable thirst for discovery despite
