Description

Victorian Explorer David Livingstone Clipped Signature & Engraving Display

Clipped signature, measuring 3.5" x 1.25", n.p., undated. Signed "David Livingstone" and accompanied by a posthumous, 1880s portrait engraving attractively displayed on the mat to the overall size of 8" x 12". Both pieces could be removed with care. Light soiling to the signature at left side edge with evidence of prior mounting to the outside edge of the mat, else near fine condition.

David Livingstone (1813-1873) was a Scottish-born Christian missionary and explorer whose work in Africa was focused mainly on learning the source of the Nile River for the purpose of abolishing the East African slave trade. Throughout his life, Livingstone claimed that "legitimate commerce" by river into central Africa would end slave trading, although his explorations ultimately brought him too far west into the Congo River system. Nevertheless, his death would inspire the founding of several major central African Christian missionary initiatives as part of the European "Scramble for Africa".

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
