This photograph is an exquisite plate from "Illustrated Travels" by Henry Walter Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The image offers a breathtaking panorama of this unique and otherworldly terrain, with its towering Ravenala trees stretching towards the sky, their distinctive trunks adorned with a rosette of leaves at their base.
