EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Journey Through Time: Travelling in Mashonaland, Zimbabwe, during the Late 1890s" 2. Description: This black and white lantern slide, taken from the Boswell Collection, Box 288, offers a glimpse into the past as it transports us back to the late 1890s in Mashonaland, a traditional region located in northeastern Zimbabwe. Bordering Zambia to the north and Mozambique to the northeast and east, Mashonaland was a land rich in natural beauty and cultural diversity. 3. Context: During this period, Mashonaland was part of British South Africa, a region that was under British rule following the Scramble for Africa. The area was named after the Mashonaland people, the largest ethnic group in the region, who were known for their agricultural prowess and vibrant culture. 4. Scene: The lantern slide depicts a peaceful scene of a horse-drawn carriage making its way through the rugged terrain of Mashonaland. The image captures the essence of exploration and adventure, as the travellers navigate the winding roads, surrounded by the lush greenery and rolling hills of the region. 5. Historical Significance: This lantern slide is a valuable historical record of a time when Europeans were first discovering and documenting the wonders of Africa. It offers a unique perspective into the past, allowing us to imagine the experiences of the early travellers and explorers who journeyed through this beautiful and diverse region. 6. Conclusion: This stunning lantern slide is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Zimbabwe, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and sharing our historical records for future generations. It invites us to explore the stories and experiences of the past, and to appreciate the beauty and diversity of our world.
