Victoria Falls, 19th century

Victoria Falls. 19th century artwork of the Victoria Falls (known locally as the Smoke that Thunders ) on the Zambezi River. Today, the falls are on the Zambia-Zimbabwe border. Spray and mist are seen rising from the base of these falls, which are among the largest in the world. They are 1708 metres wide, and over 1000 cubic metres per second flows over them, falling 108 metres to the lower level. This engraving is from Missionary travels and researches in South Africa (London, 1857), by the Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone (1813-1873), the first European to see the falls, doing so in 1855

EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century artwork captures the majestic beauty of Victoria Falls, known locally as the "Smoke that Thunders". The print showcases the awe-inspiring natural wonder located on the Zambezi River, precisely on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. As one gazes upon this engraving from David Livingstone's renowned book "Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa" they are transported back to a time when European explorers first laid eyes on this breathtaking spectacle. The image portrays a scene of grandeur, with spray and mist rising from the base of these colossal falls. Stretching an impressive 1708 meters wide, Victoria Falls is among the largest waterfalls globally, boasting a staggering flow volume of over 1000 cubic meters per second. The cascading waters plummet an astounding 108 meters to lower levels, creating a thunderous display that leaves viewers in sheer awe. In this monochrome illustration, we witness not only nature's magnificence but also gain insight into historical exploration. David Livingstone himself was the first European to discover these falls in 1855 during his missionary travels through Africa. This artwork serves as a testament to his pioneering spirit and enduring legacy. As we admire this piece, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both geographical wonders and human history within its frame. It reminds us of our connection to nature and our thirst for discovery—a timeless reminder that even centuries later, Victoria Falls continues to captivate hearts around the world.
