David Livingstone (1813-1873) was a Scottish missionary and explorer in Africa. British explorer Henry Morton Stanley (1841–1904) was sent to find him. He did so on November 10, 1871. This image appeared in Stanley's book "In Darkest Africa" and shows a section of a house, 20 feet high and about 25 feet in diameter, with a doorway about six feet by six feet, near Lake Albert Nyanza. Plastered partitions divided the interior into segments of circles. One division, before the doorway, as a hall of audience. Behind was the family bed-chamber and to the right were areas devoted to the children. The first European to record the lake was Samuel Baker in 1864 and he named it for the recently deceased Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria.
