A wonderfully historic map accompanying a long story in the New York Herald recounting the newspaper-sponsored search for Dr. Livingstone. The headlines for the story are memorable: “LIVINGSTONE. / Herald Special from Central Africa. / Finding the Great Explorer. / Exciting History of the Successful Herald Expedition…”

The New York Herald financed Henry Morton Stanley’s expedition to locate the famed (and presumed-deceased) David Livingstone. This is the original report of Stanley's successful search for and historic meeting with Livingstone.

The map of part of central Africa includes Lake Tanganyika, near which the legendary meeting of Stanley and Livingstone occurred in November, 1871. [ICN 7634.2.].
