Title: Thomas Baines "The Trader Mr Harris's Cabin Near The White Kei" Africana Musuem Reproduction Print 1967 Framed. Reproduction Print By: "Deur A. Robinson, Seuns En Maatskappy Beperk 1967." Height: 49cm. Width: 55cm. Info: A reproduction print in a solid frame. Released by the Africana Musuem Johannesburg, produced by A Robinson and Sons in 1967. An official print of a Thomas Baines painting of "The Trader Mr Harris's Cabin near the White Kei 18th April 1848." Crayon, Watercolour. Born in King's Lynn, Norfolk, on 27 November 1820, Baines was apprenticed to a coach painter at an early age. When he was 22 he left England for South Africa aboard the "Olivia" (captained by a family friend William Roome) and worked for a while in Cape Town as a scenic and portrait artist, and as official war artist during the so-called Eighth Frontier War for the British Army. In 1855 Baines joined Augustus Gregory's 18551857 Royal Geographical Society sponsored expedition across northern Australia as official artist and storekeeper. The expedition's purpose was to explore the Victoria River district in the north-west and to evaluate the entire northern area of Australia in terms of its suitability for colonial settlement. His association with the North Australian Expedition was the highpoint of his career, and he was warmly commended for his contribution to it, to the extent that Mount Baines and the Baines River were named in his honour. In 1858 Baines accompanied David Livingstone along the Zambezi, and was one of the first white men to view Victoria Falls. In 1869 Baines led one of the first gold prospecting expeditions to Mashonaland in what later became Rhodesia. Condition: Excellent, solid metal frame that is in very good condition.
