EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting town of Simla, nestled in the breathtaking Himalayan Mountains. Captured in 1902 by Underwood & Underwood, this stereocard transports us to a time when Simla was a popular mountain resort during the British Raj. The image showcases the picturesque landscape as seen from the highway leading to Kalka, which served as the nearest railway station located 57 miles away. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of this hill station through cinematography. Simla's allure lay in its cooler climate, offering respite from India's scorching summers. As capital of Himachal Pradesh today, it still retains its charm and continues to attract visitors with its stunning vistas and colonial-era architecture. In this scene captured over a century ago, we see people going about their daily lives against a backdrop of majestic mountains. It is a testament to both human resilience and nature's grandeur that have coexisted harmoniously for centuries. As we gaze at this remarkable print from The Print Collector collection, we are reminded not only of Simla's historical significance but also its enduring appeal as a destination that has captivated travelers throughout generations. Let us cherish this glimpse into India's past and appreciate how it has shaped our present-day understanding of culture and heritage.
