Framed Print of Sketches in Africa: the Tarn Bend, in the Lower Zambesi, 1872. Creator: Unknown
Sketches in Africa: the Tarn Bend, in the Lower Zambesi, 1872. Many sketches of South African scenery and travel, by Mr. Thomas Baines, F.R.G.S. formerly a companion of Dr. Livingstone's expeditions up the Zambesi and Shiré rivers, have from time to time appeared in our Engravings. His subsequent journey, with the late Mr. James Chapman, across the whole width of the continent, from Walfisch Bay up the Orange River, and thence by Lake Ngami to the Victoria Falls of the Zambesi, is related in a book to which reference has been often made...at the present moment everything that appertains to the half-known wilderness of Africa, and the experiences of British travellers there, is likely to interest our readers. [Our engraving shows] a picturesque view of the Tarn Bend, just below the Victoria Falls of the Zambesi...The river here makes a sudden tarn, and bends directly back, forming a promontory nearly a mile long, but not more than 115 yards wide, and with cliffs 300 ft. high. The end of the promontory, which has the appearance of an isolated rock, is seen in the middle of this view'. From Illustrated London News, 1872.
