A broadside outlining the programme of the procession of David Livingstone's remains. Livingstone had died the previous year in Africa. His embalmed body was carried to the coast on a nine-month journey by African bearers. It was then shipped to Southampton where the local population organised, at their own expense, a procession before it was placed on a train to London. His body then lay in state at the Royal Geographical Society's office for two days before the funeral in Westminster Abbey.
