EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures the raw power and beauty of a mountain stream in north-east Africa during the rainy season. The image, created by the German School in the 19th century, showcases a scene from Die Welt in Bildern (Braun & Schneider, Munich), providing an educational glimpse into this fascinating region. The print depicts a torrential flood that has transformed the tranquil stream into a raging force of nature. Towering mountains provide a dramatic backdrop as water cascades down their slopes with immense force. The lush vegetation along the banks is partially submerged, emphasizing the overwhelming power of this natural phenomenon. Amidst this tumultuous scene, wildlife can be spotted struggling to survive. A hippopotamus battles against the current while a crocodile lurks nearby, both fighting for their place in this watery chaos. Trees are uprooted and swept away by the relentless torrent, highlighting its destructive capabilities. This engraving not only showcases breathtaking scenery but also serves as an educational tool for those interested in African geography and natural history. It provides insight into how rivers and streams shape landscapes during periods of heavy rainfall and demonstrates scientific methods used to study botany and other aspects of nature. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into an awe-inspiring moment captured through artistic skill and scientific observation.
