EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: Main Street, Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia (Now Zimbabwe), Circa 1920" This evocative photograph captures the essence of Main Street in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), during the 1920s. The image transports us back in time, offering a unique perspective of the colonial era in Africa. The wide, dusty road is lined with impressive European-style buildings, their facades displaying an architectural blend of various influences. The structures, with their tall, imposing designs, exude an air of grandeur and authority, reflecting the British colonial influence that once dominated this region. In the distance, the Cecil Rhodes Memorial stands proudly on the left. The plinth and statue of the famous British imperialist, Cecil Rhodes, serve as a testament to the significant role he played in the colonization of Southern Rhodesia. The presence of cars on the road indicates the emergence of modern transportation, symbolizing the progress and development brought about by colonial rule. Pedestrians, dressed in fashionable attire, can be seen going about their daily business, adding a sense of vibrancy and activity to the scene. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the history and culture of Bulawayo during the 1920s. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage that continues to shape the city and the country today. The image, though, is not a company photograph and is available for rights-managed licensing through Mary Evans Prints Online.
