En Route to Bulawayo - A Captivating Journey Through South Africa's Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, titled "En Route to Bulawayo" takes us back in time to the 19th century. It captures a momentous train journey through the vast and remote regions of South Africa, depicting the energy and possibility that accompanied the expansion of railways during this era. The scene is filled with interest as we witness the direct passing of a steam locomotive through Cape Flats, an area considered crucial for communication and transportation. In this picture, we see the long train entering Rhodesia, adding another chapter to British Empire's influence on South Africa. Of great significance is the presence of Cecil Rhodes himself, depicted with zeal and tact as he embarks on this monumental journey. The right honorable Cecil Rhodes was a key figure in shaping South African history, known for his ambition and determination in expanding British interests across these lands. As our eyes wander through this remarkable image, we are reminded of how much has changed over the years. From bustling cities to bloodthirsty tribal conflicts, each region holds its own story within these vast miles captured by English photographer from Look and Learn collection. This photograph not only showcases accomplished photography skills but also serves as a window into an era where communication between distant places like Durban and Lobengula's capital city of Bulawayo was made possible thanks to advancements in railway technology. Intriguingly portrayed here is also Matabele chief
