from
http://www.nrzam.org.uk/NRPhotobook/northern_rhodesiaLeft.htm

& if
as the above text claims
northern rhodesia was in the foreground & southern
rhodesia was to the right & portuguese east africa was
to the left
then
we are facing down the zambezi from the left bank as
the luangwa enters from our left
so the thalweg junction tripoint was & is just below &
to the left of dead center in this view

by comparison the last pic here
http://www.jettezambia.dk/
has the tripoint at far right if indeed within the
frame at all

& here is an even more indistinct tripoint
neighborhood claim
http://www.redcliff-lodge.com/river2.jpg
among others still less illustrious we have seen

http://eusoils.jrc.it/esdb_archive/EuDASM/Africa/images/maps/download/afr_zw3001_2to.jpg

at the same time
for most african tripoints we still have no pix at all
