EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting by Thomas Baines captures the awe-inspiring beauty of The Victoria Falls in the 1860s. Located on the Zambezi River, in present-day Zambia and Zimbabwe, the Victoria Falls are one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and the largest sheet of falling water in the world. Baines, a renowned Victorian-era explorer and artist, expertly depicts the breathtaking scenery from the narrow neck near the eastern headland of the falls' outlet. The painting showcases the vast expanse of the falls, with the roaring water cascading over the cliff edge and crashing into the pool below. The lush green vegetation surrounding the falls adds to the vibrant and natural scene. The Victoria Falls were first discovered by European explorers in the late 1850s, and Baines was among the first to document the falls through his art. His painting provides a historical record of the falls during this period, offering a glimpse into the untouched beauty of the African landscape. The painting also reveals the richness of the area's wildlife, with animals such as elephants, buffalo, and antelope visible in the background. Baines' painting is a testament to the power and majesty of nature, and it continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and vivid colors. The Victoria Falls remain a popular tourist destination today, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to witness this natural phenomenon for themselves. This painting serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and documenting its beauty for future generations to enjoy.
