EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and historical significance of the Zambezi River, as it flows along the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe in the early 1900s. The image, taken near Livingstone, showcases the mighty river as it tumbles over the Victoria Falls, a natural wonder of the world and a source of inspiration for explorers and travelers for centuries. The Zambezi River, the fourth longest river in Africa, has played a crucial role in the history and development of the region. It has served as a vital water source for local communities, a transportation route for trade and commerce, and a boundary between nations. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, European explorers, including the famous Scottish explorer David Livingstone, made their way to this part of Africa in search of the source of the Nile and to establish colonial rule. The Victoria Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are a spectacular sight, with a width of 1,708 meters and a height of 108 meters. The falls are formed when the Zambezi River plunges into a deep gorge, creating a magnificent spray that can be seen from miles away. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the natural wonders of the world were still largely unexplored and the mysteries of Africa were just beginning to be unraveled. The image is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Zambezi River and the lands it flows through, and serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this magnificent waterway.
