EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent bridge over the Victoria Falls in Rhodesia, captured in a vibrant color lithograph. The image, created by John Henry Frederick Bacon and reproduced from a private collection, transports us back to the early 20th century during the reign of King Edward VII. The bridge itself is an engineering marvel, combining elements of wooden and stone construction with a suspension design. It stands proudly amidst the breathtaking backdrop of one of Africa's most iconic natural wonders – the Victoria Falls. The cascading waterfalls add an element of grandeur to this historic scene. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we can imagine pedestrians crossing over this remarkable structure or perhaps catch sight of a passing train on one of Rhodesia's bustling railways. This image not only captures the beauty and power of nature but also serves as a testament to British imperial influence in Africa during that era. Originally featured as an illustration for "The Kings Empire" authored by W. H. Fitchett and published by Cassell in 1910, this print offers us a glimpse into both historical events and artistic expression. Its inclusion within private collections ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate and admire. In summary, this stunning print encapsulates both the awe-inspiring beauty of Victoria Falls and its connection to Rhodesia's rich history under British rule. It serves as a visual reminder of our shared past while inviting us to explore further into these fascinating narratives.
