The Opening up of Mashonaland - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Opening up of Mashonaland" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a fascinating glimpse into a significant moment in history. The engraving showcases an interior view of a train on the Beira Railway Extension, capturing the essence of progress and exploration. As our eyes wander through this intricate artwork, we are transported to various locations along this monumental route. From the commanding official residence to the railway company's offices in Fontesvilla, every detail tells a story of ambition and determination. The image also features an impressive bridge that symbolizes connectivity and unity. Intriguingly, this engraving was originally created as an illustration for The Graphic on April 13th, 1895. It serves as both documentation and celebration of the opening up of Mashonaland—a region rich with untapped potential waiting to be discovered. Through its meticulous depiction of embankments being cut and sections being worked on tirelessly by dedicated individuals, this print encapsulates not only physical construction but also dreams becoming reality. It reminds us that progress often requires great effort and collaboration. Today, we can appreciate this historical artifact thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts. This remarkable piece allows us to reflect upon how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for development in Mashonaland—an enduring testament to human ingenuity and perseverance.
