EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting city of Bombay, India in the late 19th century. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the magnificent swimming pool building that stands proudly amidst its surroundings. Its grandeur and architectural brilliance are truly awe-inspiring. The structure itself exudes a sense of elegance and sophistication, showcasing intricate detailing and a harmonious blend of styles. It serves as a testament to the remarkable craftsmanship prevalent during that era. One can only imagine the joyous laughter and splashes echoing within its walls as people indulged in leisurely swims on warm sunny days. A group of men, dressed impeccably in their fashionable attire, pose for this portrait near the entrance of the swimming pool building. Their clothing reflects both style and functionality, with each individual donning garments suitable for daytime activities. This glimpse into their fashion choices offers us an intriguing insight into early 20th-century male fashion trends. The identity of the photographer remains unknown; however, their skillful composition captures not only architectural beauty but also human connection within this historical moment frozen in time. The camaraderie shared by these gentlemen is palpable through their relaxed stances and genuine smiles. As we gaze upon this photograph from Alinari's collection, we cannot help but marvel at how it encapsulates multiple facets: architecture, sports, fashion, social dynamics – all woven together seamlessly by an unidentified author's lens. It serves as a reminder that even though years have passed since its capture around 1890, certain elements such as friendship and appreciation for stunning structures continue to transcend time.
