EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Journey Through Time: A Coach in Matoppos, Zimbabwe (Rhodesia), Late 1890s 2. Description: This black and white lantern slide image transports us back in time to the late 1890s in what was then known as Rhodesia, now modern-day Zimbabwe. The photograph, taken in the Matoppos area of the Matopos National Park, showcases a horse-drawn coach making its way along a dusty road. The Matopos National Park, located less than 75km south of Bulawayo, was easily accessible via a good tarred road during this era. The Matopos National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its unique geological features, including the balancing granite rocks. The park's rich history and natural beauty have made it a popular destination for travelers since the late 19th century. In this image, the coach, with its high wheels and ornate detailing, stands out against the backdrop of the rugged landscape. The passengers inside appear to be enjoying the scenic journey, perhaps on their way to explore the wonders of the Matoppos area. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the travel experiences of the late 1800s in British South Africa. 3.
