This is the unique original Gouache painting by Richard Hook.
David Livingstone, the explorer who discovered the Victoria Falls, helped drive forward the obsession with discovering the sources of the River Nile that formed the culmination of the classic period of European geographical discovery and colonial penetration of the African continent. This is the original artwork from Treasure no. 399 (5 September 1970).
Richard Hook (1938 - January 2010; UK) Richard Hook was born in 1938 and trained at Reigate College of Art. After national service with 1st Bn, Queen's Royal Regiment, he became art editor of the much-praised magazine Finding Out during the 1960s.
He then went on to work as a freelance illustrator, earning an international reputation for his deep knowledge of Native American material culture.
He provided many illustrations, predominantly scenes from British history and daily life, for Look and Learn magazine during the 1960s and 1970s and illustrated more than 50 titles for Osprey, contributing to these books for over 30 years. Sadly Richard passed away in January 2010.
