Herd of Buffaloes at Victoria Falls — Thomas Baines

Thomas Baines presents Victoria Falls through a dramatic landscape of wildlife, dense vegetation, and cascading water. A herd of buffaloes approaches the rocky edge of the chasm, while small human figures appear among palms, tangled vines, and richly layered foreground foliage.

Towering trees frame the falls as white water descends into rising mist beyond the animals. Birds cross the pale sky above, while muted greens, ochres, browns, and warm highlights give the scene the atmospheric character of a 19th-century color lithograph. The original caption identifies the view as Herd of Buffaloes Driven to the Edge of the Chasm, Opposite Garden Island.
