EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling Alexandra Dock in Bombay, India, in the year 1917. The image showcases a panoramic view of this vibrant location from an elevated perspective. The dockside is teeming with activity as workers go about their daily tasks, loading and unloading cargo from the ships that line the quayside. The buildings surrounding the dock stand tall against the backdrop of a clear day, providing a glimpse into early 20th-century architecture in India. This snapshot captures both the industrial nature of Alexandra Dock and its integration with the surrounding cityscape. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. It serves as a visual testament to India's rich maritime history and its role as an important trading hub during this era. Although we are unaware of who specifically captured this remarkable scene, it stands as a testament to their skillful eye for composition and documentation. As viewers, we can't help but be drawn into this historical moment frozen in time – witnessing firsthand how life unfolded at one of Bombay's most significant docks over a century ago.
