David Livingstone war Vater von 6 Kindern, darunter Agnes Livingstone Bruce (* 1847).
David Livingstone war ein schottischer Missionar und Afrikaforscher, der am 19. März 1813 in Blantyre bei Glasgow geboren wurde und am 1. Mai 1873 in Chitambo am Bangweulusee verstarb. Ursprünglich arbeitete er als Baumwollspinner, widmete sich aber dann der Medizin und Theologie. Die Berichte des Missionars Robert Moffat inspirierten ihn, und so ging Livingstone 1840 im Auftrag der Londoner Missionsgesellschaft nach Südafrika. Dort heiratete er 1845 Mary Moffat, Roberts Tochter. Livingstone unternahm mehrere Forschungsreisen, darunter die Durchquerung der Kalahari-Wüste im Jahr 1849. Um 1850 lebte er in Sangwali und erreichte 1851 den Oberlauf des Sambesi. Seine Familie schickte er 1852 nach England. Von 1853 bis 1856 durchquerte er Südafrika vom Sambesi bis nach Luanda und zurück, wobei er 1855 die Victoriafälle entdeckte. Nach seiner Rückkehr veröffentlichte er seine Reiseerlebnisse. 1858 kehrte Livingstone mit seinem Bruder und anderen nach Afrika zurück, um das Gebiet des Sambesi zu erkunden. Er entdeckte den Malawisee und den Chilwa-See. Seine Frau Mary starb 1862 an Malaria. Livingstone konnte sein Ziel, den Sklavenhandel zu bekämpfen, nicht erreichen und kehrte 1864 nach Großbritannien zurück. 1865 veröffentlichte er ein weiteres Buch über seine Expeditionen. Im Jahr darauf startete Livingstone seine letzte Forschungsreise, bei der er den Tanganjikasee und den Moerosee erreichte. Es gab Gerüchte über seinen Tod, die sich aber als falsch herausstellten. 1871 erlebte Livingstone ein Massaker durch Sklavenhändler und trennte sich von ihnen. Henry Morton Stanley fand Livingstone 1871 in Ujiji und begrüßte ihn mit den berühmten Worten: "Dr. Livingstone, nehme ich an?". Livingstone wollte trotz seiner schlechten Gesundheit in Afrika bleiben, um nach den Nilquellen zu suchen. Er starb am 1. Mai 1873 in Ilala an Ruhr. Seine Gefährten Susi und Chuma begruben sein Herz unter einem Baum und brachten seinen Leichnam zur Küste, von wo er nach England überführt und in der Westminster Abbey beigesetzt wurde. Die Tagebücher seiner letzten Reisen wurden posthum veröffentlicht.
Alles, was ich in meiner Einsamkeit sagen kann, ist, möge der reiche Segen des Himmels auf alle herabkommen - Amerikaner, Engländer, Türken -, die mithelfen werden diese offene Wunde der Welt zu heilen.

Restoration notes
This was an interesting one. Quality was absolutely superb; detail's incredible. Printing technology is often what holds back image detail in this period, and the paper texture is really pretty much unnoticable at this scale. In any case, this is excellent work. This does show up some flaws. One knee is pretty badly out of focus. The edges had some pretty major damage, lower right hand corner was probably the worst. The background was very dirty - probably because people selectively handled it - but since that's just a smooth bokeh it's not that big of a deal; any minor variance from the original is not meaningful. Some noticable damage around the edges of a sharp transition from light to dark ; that might be some chemical thing, like dye leeching, might just be particularly noticable since it's more precise work; in any case, I fixed it.
