EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1938, a young girl stands in awe by the breathtaking Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River, now marking the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe in southern Africa. The thundering waterfall, a natural wonder of the world, is a testament to the power and beauty of nature. The girl, dressed in a simple white dress, gazes at the majestic scene before her, her expression one of wonder and delight. The lush greenery of the surrounding trees and foliage contrasts starkly with the roaring white water, creating a stunning visual tableau. The serene tranquility of the scene is shattered only by the deafening roar of the falls, a reminder of the raw, untamed power of the natural world. The photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when travel to such far-flung destinations was an adventure in and of itself. The girl's presence adds a sense of scale and perspective, reminding us that even the most awe-inspiring natural wonders can be experienced and appreciated by individuals, no matter their age or background. This photograph, from The John Barrett Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring allure of Victoria Falls and the power of nature to inspire wonder and awe in us all.
