Ripon Falls at the northern end of Lake Victoria in Uganda was formerly considered the source of the river Nile. In 1862–3 British Army officer John Hanning Speke (1827-1864) was the first European to follow the course of the Nile downstream after discovering the falls that his intuition had marked as the source of the Nile. Here is an image of a stamp depicting Ripon Falls and the Speke Monument, engraved and printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co., Ltd., and issued for use in Uganda on July 28, 1962 as one of a set of four similar stamps commemorating the centenary of Speke's discovery of the source of the Nile, Scott No. 81, plus a photo of the Speke Monument, and an image of a drawing of Ripon Falls by Scottish explorer James Augustus Grant (1827-1892) which was a model for this stamp's design.
