EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Kilburn Brothers showcases a group of 14 stereographs capturing the essence of Africa and actors during the period from the 1850s to the 1910s. The scene depicted above is an awe-inspiring view of a bridge on the Cape to Cairo Railway, spanning over the majestic Zambezi River near Victoria Falls. The black and white albumen silver prints transport us back in time, allowing us to witness this remarkable feat of engineering amidst Africa's breathtaking natural beauty. The railway bridge stands as a testament to human ingenuity, connecting distant lands and opening up new possibilities for transportation and trade. Surrounded by lush gardens filled with palm trees, this location exudes tranquility and serenity. The steam train passing through adds a touch of nostalgia, reminding us of an era when rail travel was at its peak. Kilburn Brothers' photography captures not only physical structures but also evokes a sense of wonder about different cultures and geographical features across continents. This collection serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, these images offer glimpses into African landscapes that have undoubtedly changed over time but continue to inspire curiosity about our shared heritage. Through this photo print, we are transported on a visual journey that invites contemplation about our interconnected world and the power of human creativity.
