Editorial comment for this plate:

HENRY M. STANLEY AND WIFE.

SOMEtime ago we expressed a hope of showing our readers the portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Henry M. Stanley, which Mr. C. R. Savage, of Salt Lake City, made of the great explorer and his wife, on their way across the American continent. It is therefore with very great pleasure that we present these portraits in this number of THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TIMES.

They are reproduced from the positives reduced to about one-half their original size, so as to appear on one page. Both the distinguished subjects expressed themselves as highly pleased with Mr. Savage’s portraits of them. We are sure they will be esteemed by our readers.

Sir Henry Morton Stanley: 1841-1904

Sir Henry Morton Stanley  was a Welsh-American explorer, journalist, soldier, colonial administrator, author, and politician famous for his exploration of Central Africa and search for missionary and explorer David Livingstone. Besides his discovery of Livingstone, he is mainly known for his search for the sources of the Nile and Congo rivers, the work he undertook as an agent of King Leopold II of the Belgians that enabled the occupation of the Congo Basin region, and his command of the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition. He was knighted in 1897, and served in Parliament as a Liberal Unionist member for Lambeth North from 1895 to 1900.

Dorothy Tennant, Lady Stanley: 1855-1926

Dorothy Tennant, Lady Stanley  was an English painter of the Victorian era neoclassicism. She was married to explorer Sir Henry Morton Stanley.

Charles Roscoe Savage: 1832-1909

Charles Roscoe Savage was a British-born landscape and portrait photographer most notable for his images of the American West. Savage converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in his youth while living in England. He served a mission in Switzerland and eventually moved to the United States. In America he became interested in photography and began taking portraits for hire in the East. He traveled to Salt Lake City with his family and opened up his Art Bazar where he sold many of his photographs. Savage concentrated his photographic efforts primarily on family portraits, landscapes, and documentary views. His work includes an 1869 series of photographs of the linking of the first transcontinental railroad at Promontory, Utah.—Wikipedia (2026)
