To The Victoria Falls
1947 Life Magazine Gallery
This selection of images were taken by photographer Eliot Elisofon at the Victoria Falls in early 1947, just before the visit of the British Royal Family. Note the photographs show two young female models - and not the Royal Princesses themselves (photographers were not given this sort of access to the Royal Family during the visit, which was a break from the official tour). The photographs were published in Life Magazine in time for the visit to illustrate the visit to the Falls. Read more on the 1947 Royal Visit.
