EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Bombay in the 19th century. The image showcases the iconic Great Western Hotel and Apollo Street, both significant landmarks in this vibrant Indian city. The Great Western Hotel stands tall, exuding grandeur and elegance with its intricate architectural details. Its imposing presence is complemented by the lively atmosphere of Apollo Street, where locals and visitors alike traverse through a maze of shops, stalls, and rickshaws. Captured by an English photographer whose name remains unknown but whose work has left an indelible mark on history, this photograph offers a glimpse into India's rich cultural tapestry. It was featured as an illustration in "Glimpses of India" by C. B. Burrows in 1895. As we delve into this mesmerizing scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the diverse beauty that defines Indian culture. The people captured within the frame reflect the vibrancy and diversity that make up Asia's largest metropolis - Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay). This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind early photography but also serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while still retaining their unique essence.
