EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lantern slide depicts a mule-team making its way through a shallow river drift 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 the region, which later became known as Zimbabwe. The image showcases the rugged terrain and challenging conditions that early European settlers faced as they sought to establish farms and infrastructure in this part of Africa. The mule-team, a common mode of transportation during this era, is laden with supplies and equipment, and the determination and grit of the teamsters are evident as they navigate the treacherous waters. The drift, a shallow section of a river, presents a significant obstacle for the mule-team, and the men leading the animals expertly guide them through the water, ensuring that they do not slip or stumble on the slippery banks. The scene is reminiscent of the early days of European exploration and settlement in Africa, a time marked by hardship, resilience, and a spirit of adventure. This lantern slide, part of the Boswell Collection, offers a unique glimpse into the past and provides valuable insights into the history and culture of Zimbabwe during the late 19th century. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the early settlers, who overcame numerous challenges to establish a presence in this part of Africa and leave an indelible mark on its history.
