EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls, also known as Mosi-oa-Tunya or 'The Smoke that Thunders,' located on the Zambezi River in present-day Zimbabwe, Southern Africa. Discovered by the renowned Scottish missionary and explorer, David Livingstone, in the mid-19th century, the falls were named in honor of Queen Victoria of Britain. The Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This historical illustration offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the grandeur and majesty of the falls during the Victorian era. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the powerful cascade of water plunging over a cliff, creating a massive spray that can be seen miles away. The surrounding lush vegetation and the tranquil waters of the Zambezi River add to the breathtaking beauty of the scene. David Livingstone's discovery of the Victoria Falls in 1855 marked a significant moment in the exploration of Africa. His journey opened up the region to the outside world and paved the way for further scientific and cultural exchange. This archival print is an invaluable historical record of a time when the natural wonders of the world were still being discovered and documented. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
