Lieut. Cameron, R.N., the African Explorer, 1876. Creator: Unknown.

Lieut. Cameron, R.N., the African Explorer, 1876. 'Lieutenant Verney Lovett Cameron entered the Royal Navy in August, 1857, being the first boy under fourteen years of age who passed the examination for naval cadet...He has completed the last great problem of [David] Livingstone, by following the course of the Lualaba [river], which he has found, indeed, not to belong to the Nile, but to the Congo; and he has traversed the whole breadth of the interior, from Lake Tanganyika westward to the Atlantic sea-coast. In this wonderful journey...an extent of 1200 miles of new country has been discovered...Lieutenant Cameron was actively employed also in boat-cruising on the east coast of Africa. What he there saw of the horrors of the slave trade mainly prompted him to undertake the leadership of the Livingstone Search and Relief Expedition'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
