Victoria Falls Gallery

A Land Of Sunshine

The Victoria Falls on the Zambesi River, South Africa, have been described by many travellers as The Eighth Wonder of the World. They are more than a mile in the width and the height of the actual falls varies from 250 to 400 feet. In their natural beauty they are at once sublime and awe-inspiring and mark the culmination of grandeur in a country famed for its scenery. Edmund Blampied (1886-1966) produced numerous illustrations for ILN magazines. As well as scenes of typical London life published in The Illustrated London News, he specialised in showing the privileged class at fashionable resorts around the world, notably the Riviera, for The Bystander
