LIVINGSTONE (David, 1813-1873, Scottish Missionary & Explorer)

Fine Bold Signature with date on a piece of paper, 5” x 2”, no place, 2nd August

Livingstone came to have a mythic status that operated on a number of interconnected levels: Protestant missionary martyr, working-class "rags-to-riches" inspirational story, scientific investigator and explorer, imperial reformer, anti-slavery crusader, and advocate of British commercial and colonial expansion. As a result, Livingstone became one of the most popular British heroes of the late 19th-century Victorian era.
