EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches in Africa, the Tarn Bend, in the Lower Zambesi" takes us on a visual journey through the dramatic landscapes of 19th-century Africa. Created by an English School artist and featured in The Illustrated London News in August 1872, this print offers a glimpse into the untamed beauty of the Lower Zambesi region. The scene depicted showcases the Zambezi River as it winds its way through Zambia's enchanting wilderness. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings to life every element of this breathtaking panorama. From towering cliffs that frame the riverbanks to lush vegetation that thrives along its shores, each stroke captures nature's grandeur with remarkable precision. One cannot help but be captivated by the sheer magnitude of Tarn Bend—a natural formation that adds an air of mystique to this already awe-inspiring landscape. Its presence creates a sense of anticipation and wonder as we imagine what lies beyond its curve. These sketches not only provide aesthetic pleasure but also offer valuable insights into African geology during this era. They serve as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific curiosity prevalent at that time. As we gaze upon this historic engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. It is a reminder of Africa's timeless allure and serves as an invitation for us to explore further into its rich tapestry of culture
