EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a bustling street in Bombay during the British Empire period of 1847. The image, sourced from "The History of China and India" by Miss Corner, provides a fascinating glimpse into Mumbai's past. As we delve into this monochrome landscape, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details that unfold before us. A diverse array of people can be seen going about their daily lives on this vibrant street. From Indian locals dressed in traditional attire to British colonizers donning formal clothing, it is evident that Bombay was a melting pot of cultures. Amidst the hustle and bustle, our attention is captured by an imposing Christian church standing tall against the backdrop of this historic town. Its presence serves as a reminder of the religious diversity that coexisted within Bombay at that time. The engraving technique used for this print adds depth and texture to every corner and lane depicted in the scene. It transports us back to a time when horse-drawn carriages traversed these roads instead of modern vehicles. This remarkable piece is credited to Unknown (creator), Miss Corner, B Clayton, Julia Parley, Thomas Lovechild Solomon Lovechild - individuals who have left their mark on history through their contributions towards documenting India's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this evocative image from nearly two centuries ago, we cannot help but marvel at how much has changed while appreciating how certain aspects endure throughout time.
