EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a portion of the bustling Sadar Bazar in Rawalpindi, British India, taken from the Massy Gate. Dating back to the early 20th century, between 1918 and 1939, this aerial view provides a unique glimpse into the colonial era. The image showcases a vibrant avenue lined with commercial buildings that exude an air of grandeur. The architecture reflects the influence of British colonialism on this Asian continent. The busy street is filled with local people going about their day, creating a lively atmosphere. In this snapshot of history, men and women can be seen rambling along the lane, adding movement to the scene. Their presence adds depth to this monochrome vista as they traverse through Rawalpindi's streets. The elevated view allows us to appreciate not only the road but also rooftops scattered across town. From here, one can admire both the intricate details of individual structures and get a sense of how they harmoniously blend together within this Punjabi cityscape. As we delve into this vintage postcard from an unknown photographer's album, it becomes evident that Sadar Bazar was once at the heart of trade and commerce in Rawalpindi. This image offers us a window into another time - an era when imperialism shaped landscapes and cultures around Asia.
