EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts an Indaba, or meeting, being held at Government House in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe (then known as Rhodesia) during the late 1890s. The Indaba was a significant event, as it celebrated the arrival of the railway line in the city. The railway line was a game-changer for Bulawayo and the surrounding region, opening up new opportunities for trade, commerce, and communication. The image shows a large gathering of people, mostly men, seated on the grass in front of Government House. Some are dressed in European attire, while others wear traditional African clothing. In the foreground, a man stands proudly next to a large lantern, which would have been used to project the image onto a screen during presentations. The atmosphere is one of excitement and celebration, with smiles and animated conversations filling the air. Bulawayo, the second largest city in Zimbabwe, was founded in 1893 and quickly grew into a hub of activity due to its strategic location along the railway line. The arrival of the railway line not only brought economic prosperity but also facilitated the administration of the British South Africa Company's territory. The Indaba at Government House captured in this lantern slide is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Bulawayo during the late 19th century.
