EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Bombay (now Mumbai), India during the British colonial era. The image showcases the grand Esplanade Hotel Annexe, a striking architectural masterpiece that once epitomized the opulence and sophistication of the British Raj. Located in the heart of the city, the Esplanade Hotel Annexe stands proudly at the corner of a bustling road, surrounded by a sea of trees that provide a refreshing contrast to the large, imposing buildings that dominate the background. The Annexe, an extension of the main Esplanade Hotel, is a testament to the architectural brilliance of the British colonial rule in India. Its grandeur is evident in its intricate detailing, from the ornate balconies and columns to the meticulously designed facade. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the vibrant street life of Bombay during the early 1900s. Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians can be seen navigating the narrow streets, while the trees lining the road provide much-needed shade from the tropical sun. The Esplanade Hotel Annexe, with its majestic presence, served as a symbol of the British Empire's power and influence in India, attracting wealthy travelers and dignitaries from around the world. Today, the Esplanade Hotel Annexe stands as a reminder of a bygone era, a time when Bombay was a thriving hub of commerce and culture under British rule. The photograph captures the essence of a fascinating period in history, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of India's colonial past.
