EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls of the Zambezi River, situated on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe in Africa. Dating back to 1900, this image showcases the natural wonder that Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone was fortunate enough to witness for the first time in 1855. Livingstone named these magnificent falls after Queen Victoria as a tribute to her majesty. The engraving, sourced from Robert Brown's renowned publication "The Countries of the World" provides a glimpse into an era of exploration and discovery. It transports us to a time when geographical features like rivers, waterfalls, and landscapes were still being unveiled by intrepid adventurers. In this monochrome depiction, we can almost feel the misty spray from the cascading waters as they plunge down with immense force. The sheer scale and power of Victoria Falls are evident in every detail captured within this nineteenth-century print. As we admire this historical artifact today, it serves as a reminder of both human curiosity and nature's grandeur. This photograph stands as a testament to Dr. David Livingstone's pioneering spirit while offering us an opportunity to appreciate one of Africa's most breathtaking natural phenomena – Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River.
