EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 19th century photograph of a bustling street scene in Peshawar, located near the Khyber Pass in what is now Pakistan. The image, captured during the British Raj era, likely dates back to the 1870s, 1880s, or 1890s. The photograph showcases the unique blend of architectural styles that characterized this colonial outpost, with grand Victorian-era houses and structures standing proudly alongside more traditional Indian buildings. At the center of the image, a church with a distinctive red roof dominates the skyline, serving as a reminder of the strong Christian presence during the British colonial rule. The buildings, with their intricate details and ornate designs, exude an air of elegance and sophistication, while the roofs and sky create a breathtaking panorama that adds depth and dimension to the scene. The urban landscape of Peshawar during this era was a melting pot of cultures, with the sounds, smells, and sights of the bustling streets reflecting the rich history and diversity of the region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of imperial grandeur and colonial influence. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the importance of preserving historical records for future generations. It serves as a reminder of the fascinating history and cultural heritage that can be found in the most unexpected places, and invites us to explore the stories that lie hidden within the walls of this ancient city.
