THOMAS BAINES (1820-75) In the forefront of outstanding southern African painters of the last century, Baines' artistic achievement forms a valued record of the past. His paintings of the Victoria Falls proclaimed in glowing colours the glory of a majestic phenomenon. Baines, who had first ventured in Central Africa with Livingstone's Zambezi Expedition, published accounts of his closely-observed experiences of exploring the interior.
