EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cotton-Store and Coolies, Bombay; Notes on Bombay and the Malabar Coast, 1875" takes us back to the bustling city of Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) in the late 19th century. The image captures a moment in time at a cotton warehouse, where workers are diligently engaged in their daily tasks. The photograph showcases the industrious spirit of this era, with men dressed in traditional Indian attire working amidst stacks of bales filled with cotton. Their turbans add an element of cultural richness to the scene, symbolizing their identity and heritage. Each worker seems focused on his role within this textile industry hub. As we delve into this historical snapshot captured by Lieutenant C. B. Low, it is impossible not to appreciate the significance of labor and craftsmanship during that period. This image serves as a testament to the dedication and hard work put forth by these individuals who played a vital role in shaping India's textile industry. Preserved through time, this print allows us to reflect upon our roots while acknowledging how far we have come since then. It reminds us of the importance of honoring our past as we continue progressing towards a brighter future.
