Description: You are bidding on a huge original antique print from an 1870s illustrated journal. It depicts two large canoe-like boats filled with central African men. They are shooting a perillous rapids on the Congo River. The Congo River (also known as the Zaire River) is a river in Africa. It is the second largest river in the world by discharge, and the world's deepest river with measured depths in excess of 220 m (720 ft). It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately 21.5 x 15.75 inches (54.5 x 40 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. The back of this print is blank, meaning it was a rarer special supplement.The caption reads: Shooting the Rapids on the Congo.The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition. This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity. This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
