EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Railway-Making in Rhodesia, the Mafeking-Buluwayo Extension" takes us back to the 19th century when English Photographer captured this remarkable moment. The print showcases a significant milestone in history as it illustrates the construction of a railway line in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). The image depicts an expansive landscape known as the veldt, where men are diligently working on laying down sleepers and rails for the Mafeking-Buluwayo Extension. The scene is bustling with activity as workers meticulously create earthworks to ensure a stable foundation for the railway track. Intriguingly, we witness Mr. Julius Weil and Major Pazera inspecting the progress of this ambitious project. Their presence highlights how important this railway extension was not only for locals but also for visitors who were fascinated by such engineering marvels. The photograph captures both the immense scale of this undertaking and its impact on transforming transportation in Rhodesia. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to connect distant places through rail networks. Preserved within a private collection, this historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era when railways played a vital role in shaping nations' development. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder's Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, we are reminded of how far we have come while appreciating those who paved the way for modern infrastructure systems like railways.
