Zambezi Sawmills Mulobezi Office, built c. 1920.
For the next two decades, the country’s development continued apace, and so did that of photography in Europe. In 1947, Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David ‘Chim’ Seymour formed the Magnum cooperative, in Paris, which continues to be a leading photographic agency today. Many of the world’s leading photographers work or have worked there, including the social documentarian Sebastião Salgado and the war photographers James Nachtwey and Gilles Peress. ~ Peter Langmead in Postcards from Zambia
