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

EDITORS COMMENTS
A Land of Sunshine: The Victoria Falls on the Zambesi River, South Africa, 1926 This breathtaking photograph captures the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls on the Zambesi River in South Africa. Described by many travellers as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World,' these falls stretch more than a mile in width, with the height varying from 250 to 400 feet. The Victoria Falls mark the culmination of grandeur in a country renowned for its stunning scenery. Edmund Blampied (1886-1966) captured this historical moment in time through his artistic lens. Blampied was a prolific illustrator, producing numerous works for the Illustrated London News (ILN) and The Bystander. While he is known for his depictions of London life and fashionable resorts around the world, particularly the Riviera, this photograph showcases his ability to capture the raw power and beauty of nature. The Victoria Falls, bathed in sunlight and framed by a rainbow, are a testament to the sublime and awe-inspiring forces of nature. The sunshine illuminates the falls, casting a golden glow over the surrounding landscape. The rainbow, a symbol of hope and promise, adds an ethereal quality to the scene. This photograph, taken in 1926, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of exploration and discovery. The Victoria Falls continue to captivate visitors from around the world, inspiring wonder and awe in all who behold their majesty. Edmund Blampied's photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural beauty of our world, a legacy for future generations to enjoy and appreciate.
