| Title: |
Victoria Falls |
| Description: |
An extremely large (elephant folio) album 63 cm x 47 cm containing twelve photographic views of the Victoria Falls, with one page of text describing the falls and the history of its discovery by Europeans. The twelve views are tinted & hand-coloured lithographs, each with a printed title below: "Bridge over the Zambesi River, Victoria Falls" "The main cataract, Victoria Falls" "First zigzag of grand canon, Victoria Falls" etc. At the top of each view in black ink "Copyright G.B. & Co., P.O. Box 1018, Cape Town." The twelve views and page of text contained in the original cloth-backed simulated crocodile skin board portfolio, in gilt on upper board "Victoria Falls." No copies listed in SABIB. However on page 355 of volume 4 a similar, but smaller portfolio of six views in the Johannesburg Public Library is described and an even smaller one in the South African Library is also described. See also SABIB, 1/325. Extremely rare and desirable. Covers edge-worn, text page torn around edges, plates a bit edge-worn and with some slight creasing. Generally good |
