EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts the Bulawayo Post Office in what was then known as Rhodesia, now modern-day Zimbabwe, during the late 1890s. The British South Africa Company, under the leadership of Cecil Rhodes, had established a colonial administration in this region, which later became known as Rhodesia and eventually Zimbabwe. The Bulawayo Post Office, an essential communication hub during this era, stands proudly in the heart of the city. The architectural design of the building reflects the European influence, with its red-brick exterior, tall chimneys, and ornate detailing. The large, arched windows allow ample light to filter in, while the lantern atop the building signifies the importance of the postal service in connecting the far-flung corners of the British Empire. The lantern slide, part of Box 288 from British South Africa, slide no.3, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Bulawayo and the broader context of the late 19th century in Zimbabwe. The slide's age, circa 1890s, makes it an invaluable historical artifact, providing a window into a time when the British Empire extended its reach to the African continent, shaping the course of Zimbabwe's future. The Bulawayo Post Office, a testament to the colonial past, continues to stand today, serving as a reminder of the rich history that has unfolded within its walls. This lantern slide not only preserves the visual history of the building but also offers a unique perspective into the past, inviting us to explore the stories and experiences of those who once called this place home.
