EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Eastern cataract of Victoria Falls, located in Livingstone to Broken Hill, Northern Rhodesia. Taken by artist Thomas A Glover in 1925, this photograph is a testament to the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized the early 20th century. The image is part of the book "Cape to Cairo" by Stella Court Treatt, which chronicles her groundbreaking journey with Major Chaplin Court Treatt from Cape Town to Cairo between 1924 and 1926. The expedition successfully reached Victoria Falls on April 27th, 1925. The powerful flow of water cascading down the waterfall showcases Africa's natural beauty and highlights its geographical features. This landscape represents an iconic symbol of British influence within the continent during that time period. Glover's photogravure technique brings out every detail of this remarkable scene, emphasizing both its grandeur and subtleties. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image, allowing viewers to appreciate it as if they were transported back in time. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of an extraordinary journey but also of humanity's relentless desire for discovery. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, there are still vast landscapes waiting to be explored and appreciated.
