EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases the elegant Verandah of the Victoria Falls Hotel in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). The neoclassical architecture of the hotel, with its grand Doric columns, exudes an air of sophistication and luxury. The Verandah, with its inviting seating arrangements, offers a stunning vantage point for guests to take in the breathtaking beauty of the Victoria Falls, a natural wonder of the world located just a stone's throw away. The scene is filled with the hustle and bustle of tourists, both men and women, dressed in the fashion of the era, enjoying their time at the hotel. The white colonial-style building, a symbol of the British colonial era in Africa, stands proudly against the lush, green backdrop of the African landscape. The guests, some engrossed in conversation, others lost in thought, add a sense of liveliness and energy to the serene setting. The Victoria Falls Hotel, built in the early 1900s, has long been a popular destination for travelers seeking adventure and relaxation. The hotel's Verandah has been a favorite gathering spot for guests, offering a respite from the heat of the African sun and a chance to take in the awe-inspiring views of the falls. This photograph, with its timeless charm and evocative imagery, transports us back to a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the stories and memories of those who have come before us and shared in the magic of the Victoria Falls Hotel.
