EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Street in Peshawur, 1905" takes us back to a bustling scene in British India. Captured by the talented artist Mortimer Luddington Menpes, this image showcases a vibrant street filled with local people going about their daily lives. The warm sunlight bathes the road, casting intriguing shadows and adding depth to the composition. In this snapshot of early 20th-century Pakistan, we see men and children navigating through the busy thoroughfare. Their colorful attire adds splashes of vibrancy against the backdrop of traditional buildings lining the avenue. The perspective draws our eyes down the lane, inviting us to explore further into this rich cultural landscape. The photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to imperialism and its impact on Hindoostan (India) during that era. It offers an opportunity for reflection on how history has shaped present-day Pakistan. As we admire this remarkable piece from Mortimer Menpes' collection featured in Flora A. Steel's book "India" it reminds us of the power of art to transport us across continents and centuries. This print is more than just an aesthetically pleasing image; it is a window into another world - one where science meets culture under the sunlit skies of Peshawur.
