EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts the breathtaking view of Salisbury, the then capital city of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), in the late 1890s. The image captures the unique blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity that characterized the British South African colonies during this period. At the heart of the scene lies Salisbury, a bustling settlement surrounded by lush vegetation and dotted with red-roofed buildings. The city's grid-like layout and well-organized streets are a testament to the British colonial administration's efforts to establish order and civilization in the African wilderness. In the distance, the distinctive kopjes, or granite outcrops, rise majestically against the horizon. These natural formations have long been a source of fascination for travelers and explorers, and their presence adds a sense of mystery and adventure to the scene. The kopjes, with their rugged textures and rich, earthy tones, provide a stark contrast to the verdant landscapes that surround them. The lantern slide, part of Box 288 from British South Africa, slide no.8, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was being explored and mapped, and when the promise of new discoveries and opportunities beckoned intrepid adventurers to the shores of Africa. This image is a reminder of the complex history that connects Zimbabwe, and indeed the entire African continent, to the wider world.
