Informations supplémentaires

David Livingstone (19 March 1813 - 1 May 1873) was an explorer and missionary, born into poverty but who became a doctor and who spent much of his life in Africa intending to convert the Africans he met to Christianity. He was unsuccessful in this - he only converted one person, who later reverted to his original beliefs, but he achieved much in the medical field in his work. He actively opposed the slave trade. He disappeared for a while and was found by American journalist H.M. Stanley who reputedly greeted him with "Dr Livingstone, I presume". During the course of his career, he was attacked by a lion - the incident depicted on the statue - and never recovered the full use of his arm.
