Description: David Livingstone statue, Princes Street Gardens Statue commemorating the Congregationalist missionary, explorer of Africa and enemy of slavery who became the popular hero of an entire late-Victorian generation. The statue was proposed in 1874, a year after reports arrived of Livingstone's death in Zambia. He shares the plinth with the lion he shot in Mabotsa. Savaged by the enraged animal before it was brought down by a spear, Livingstone lost the effective use of his left arm which was crushed; but his right arm retains the power to extend the Bible. The architecture beyond belongs to the Scott Monument.
