Favourite quote:
"I am darkness, I am sin
The Queen of lust invited in
Reborn at last to cast my
Fecund shadow on this world,
You shall worship me, enslaved
For many lovers shall I crave
And in return, I'll gladly pave
Your psycho path with pearls"
Malawi & Zimbabwe: 1916
Vintage photos from (then) Nyasaland and Southern Rhodesia (no labels/captions to decipher which photos are from which country so apologies for that. Help is appreciated from anyone who can. My efforts were futile. Some may also be from Kenya.)*Found and assembled by Liza Lemsatef Cunningham on ellelens.com
