EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the elegant front porch of the Victoria Falls Hotel in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) during the 1930s. The neoclassical building, with its tall Doric columns and grand verandah, exudes an air of sophistication and colonial charm. Guests dressed in their Sunday best lounge on the porch, chatting and laughing as they take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The men wear crisp suits and hats, while the women don elegant dresses and sun hats, adding to the scene's timeless beauty. The Victoria Falls Hotel, built in 1904, was a popular destination for tourists visiting the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls. The falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, drew visitors from around the globe, and the hotel provided them with luxurious accommodations and a refined atmosphere. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when travel to Africa was an exotic and adventurous undertaking. The image transports us back to the 1930s, a decade marked by economic depression and political instability, yet also a time of exploration and discovery. The Victoria Falls Hotel, with its classical design and inviting porch, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of Africa and the spirit of adventure that continues to draw visitors to this day.
