EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Waterfalls & Bridge at Victoria Falls, Matabeleland North - A Historical Snapshot from the 1900s The captivating image before you presents a glimpse into the past, showcasing the breathtaking beauty of Victoria Falls in Matabeleland North, a region shared between Zambia and Zimbabwe. This photograph, taken in the 1900s, offers a historical perspective of the iconic waterfalls and the bridge that once connected two continents. The Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, are renowned for their immense size and power. The spray from the falls, created by the Zambezi River crashing into the basalt cliff at 1,080 meters wide and 108 meters high, forms a spectacular rainbow that is a sight to behold. This natural wonder has been a source of inspiration and fascination for travelers and explorers for centuries. In the foreground of the photograph, the bridge, a marvel of engineering from the colonial era, stands as a testament to human ingenuity. Constructed in the late 19th century, the bridge was the first permanent crossing point over the Zambezi River, connecting the British colonies of Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia). The bridge played a significant role in facilitating trade, transportation, and communication between the two territories. This photograph, with its rich historical context, invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the natural and human achievements that have shaped the world we live in today. The Waterfalls & Bridge at Victoria Falls, Matabeleland North, remains an enduring symbol of the beauty, power, and interconnectedness of our world.
