The Falls by Sunrise with the spray cloud rising 1,200 feet
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the year 1865. This stunning colour lithographgraph, created by Thomas Baines, showcases the majestic Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River in all its glory. Baines, an English artist and explorer, was one of the first white men to witness this natural wonder. In this image, we are transported to a moment in time when both indigenous people and Europeans coexisted near the falls. A large party can be seen engaging in various activities; Europeans setting up cameras and sketching while enjoying breakfast cooked over an open fire. Meanwhile, indigenous men carry cargo and food through this picturesque landscape. The composition of the photograph is truly remarkable - palm trees sway gently against a backdrop of towering baobab trees as sunlight breaks through the horizon during sunrise. The spray cloud from Victoria Falls rises an astonishing 1,200 feet into the air, creating a mesmerizing spectacle for all who witness it. This historic print not only captures nature's grandeur but also provides valuable insights into colonial exploration during that era. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and appreciation for these extraordinary natural wonders that continue to inspire awe today.
