EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of Main Street in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), circa 1909. The image is dominated by the imposing Rhodes Memorial, erected in commemoration of Cecil Rhodes, the British businessman and politician who played a significant role in the establishment and expansion of the British Empire in Africa. Rhodes is depicted in statue form atop a grand plinth, surrounded by lush trees and greenery. To the left, the elegant facade of the Grand Hotel can be seen, a symbol of the prosperity and sophistication brought about by the British colonial rule. The buildings and roads in the background, with their neat lines and orderly arrangement, reflect the European influence on the urban landscape of Bulawayo during this period. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Rhodesia was a thriving British colony in Africa, and the legacy of Cecil Rhodes loomed large over its cities and towns.
