EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts a significant building in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, during the late 1890s, a period when Rhodesia was under British rule. The image showcases an elegant architectural structure with several horse-drawn carriages parked outside, adding a touch of sophistication and bustling activity to the scene. Bulawayo, the second-largest city in Zimbabwe, was founded in 1893 by the British South Africa Company under the leadership of Cecil Rhodes. The city quickly grew as a hub for commerce, agriculture, and administration. The building in this photograph likely served as a residence for a prominent figure or a commercial establishment, reflecting the growing prosperity and influence of the British in the region. The presence of the horse-drawn carriages outside the building highlights the importance of transportation during this era. Horses and carriages were the primary mode of transportation for both personal and commercial use, allowing people and goods to move efficiently between various parts of the city and beyond. This historical lantern slide offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the architectural, social, and economic landscape of Bulawayo during the late 1890s. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to explore the rich history of Zimbabwe and its connection to the broader story of British South Africa.
