EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "The Victoria Falls of the Zambesi, Called by the Natives Mosyoatunya, Smoke-sounding" transports us back to the 19th century. The print showcases a mesmerizing view of one of nature's most awe-inspiring wonders - the Victoria Falls in Africa. The image captures the sheer power and grandeur of these magnificent waterfalls as they cascade down with thunderous force. The locals aptly named them Mosyoatunya, meaning "Smoke-sounding" alluding to the mist that rises from the falls resembling smoke. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are transported to an era when Victorian explorers embarked on daring expeditions into uncharted territories. This print was originally featured in "The Pictorial Tour of the World" a publication that aimed to bring distant lands and their natural wonders closer to home. Through this image, we can almost feel ourselves standing at the edge of these majestic falls, feeling both exhilarated and humbled by their immense beauty. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with nature's marvels and our eternal quest for discovery. This fine art print is not only a testament to human curiosity but also a celebration of African heritage and culture. It invites us to appreciate not just its visual splendor but also its historical significance as it represents an important chapter in our collective exploration and understanding of this vast continent.
