EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Livingstone's discovery of the Victoria Falls. In this illustration by George Soper, we are transported back to 1855 when David Livingstone first laid eyes on this magnificent natural wonder. The image is taken from Boys Own Annual 1915-1916, showcasing the enduring fascination with exploration and adventure during that era. The scene depicts a thrilling expedition along the Zambesi River in Africa, as Livingstone and his team navigate through uncharted territories. Mounted on horses, they traverse the rugged terrain with determination and curiosity. The illustration beautifully portrays their courage and resilience in their quest for knowledge. The brown hues evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting us back to an era of colonialism and empire-building. It serves as a reminder of Britain's historical influence in Africa during the 19th century. Amidst all this action, wildlife animals can be seen grazing peacefully in the background - a testament to the diverse ecosystem surrounding Victoria Falls. From ponies to shire horses, stallions to racehorses, these animals add depth and life to the composition. Overall, this print not only celebrates Livingstone's groundbreaking discovery but also offers a glimpse into an important chapter in British history. It reminds us of our past explorations while sparking our own sense of adventure and curiosity about the world around us.
