EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken in 1856, showcases the tranquil and untouched beauty of the Limpopo River in Mozambique, South-East Africa. The Limpopo River, one of the longest rivers in Southern Africa, is home to an abundance of diverse wildlife, including the iconic hippopotamus. In this photograph, several hippos can be seen basking in the gentle waters of the river. Their massive, powerful forms create a striking contrast against the serene and calm river. Hippos are semi-aquatic mammals, and they spend most of their day submerged in the water to protect themselves from the intense African sun and to keep cool. They emerge at dusk to graze on the grassy banks and to socialize with their pod. The year 1856 marked a significant time in the history of South-East Africa, as European explorers and settlers were beginning to make their way into the region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the natural world that existed before the arrival of large-scale human settlement. The Limpopo River and its surrounding landscapes were likely teeming with wildlife, providing a vital habitat for a variety of species. This photograph is a testament to the natural beauty and rich biodiversity of South-East Africa, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these precious ecosystems for future generations to enjoy. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into a time when the natural world was still largely untouched by human influence.
