Notes
"[Tinus de Jongh] spent about six weeks at the Victoria Falls, painting continually. In khaki shirt and riding breeches, high boots and pith helmet, and the inevitable pipe in his mouth, he was out with his easel from early morning till late sunset. He would return for a plunge in the pool and a supper break, after which he would continue to paint by the light of a blue electric lamp, which had been specially installed in a hotel room for his use."
