EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw power and beauty of the Rapids du Zambeze, or Zambezi Rapids, upstream of Victoria Falls in Africa, circa 1914. The image is taken from the publication "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," a French geographical magazine of the time. The rapids are a turbulent section of the Zambezi River, located just upstream from the famous Victoria Falls, which straddles the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe in Southern Africa. In this photograph, several men, likely European explorers or travelers, are seen standing on the rocks at the edge of the rapids, gazing at the churning waters below. The river's white frothy waters crash against the rocks, creating a mesmerizing scene of nature in all its untamed glory. The image offers a glimpse into the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized the early 20th century, as Europeans sought to discover and document the wonders of the African continent. The photograph's mysterious origins add to its allure, making it a fascinating addition to any collection of historical African imagery.
