Carte-de-visite of David Livingstone (photographed by John Jabez Edwin Mayall, 1813-1901). David Livingstone (March 19, 1813 - May 1, 1873) was a Scottish explorer and medical missionary in Africa. He organized expeditions into the interior of Africa from Botswana, discovered and named Victoria Falls, and located the mouth of the Zambesi River.
