Mr. H. M. Stanley's return to England, 1890. 'Arrival at Victoria Station, London; Reception on Dover Pier... the celebrated leader of the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition through Central Africa returned to England, after an absence of three years and two months...The landing-pier at Dover was crowded; and there were the Mayor and Corporation of Dover, with an address of welcome, which they presented to Mr. Stanley...Colonel Gouraud, the agent for Mr. Edison's inventions,...delivered to him an American phonograph message of congratulation from the President and other citizens of the United States. At Victoria Station an immense crowd was congregated. Baroness Burdett-Coutts was the first to shake hands with Mr. Stanley when he stepped out on the platform. Her husband, Mr. W. Burdett-Coutts, M.P., had been at Dover to meet Mr. Stanley, who was led to her carriage: he bowed right and left to the people, who were heartily cheering him. Thousands of spectators were gathered in the streets outside Victoria Station. The train reached Victoria a few minutes before six, and in about five minutes more Mr. Stanley was on his way to his new home in De Vere-gardens. In the evening he left for Sandringham on a visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
