EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures an iconic moment from the 19th century in South African history: an ox-drawn wagon train crossing a river. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the early days of travel and exploration in this part of the world. Dressed in their finest attire, the travellers, likely missionaries or settlers, sit atop the wagons, their expressions a mix of anticipation and apprehension as they navigate the treacherous waters. The oxen, powerful and determined, pull the heavy loads through the current, their muscles rippling with effort. The scene is one of both beauty and hardship, with the lush vegetation and clear blue waters contrasting sharply with the rough terrain and primitive conveyances. This photograph is an invaluable record of a bygone era, providing a window into the culture and traditions of a time long past. It is a reminder of the courage and resilience of those who ventured into the unknown, and a testament to the enduring allure of the African continent."
