EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Illuminated Clock Tower of Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India, bathed in the soft glow of night during a trade exhibition in the early 1910s. The British colonial rule in India had brought about significant changes in the city, and the Illuminated Clock Tower stood as a symbol of modernity and progress. The clock tower, an architectural marvel of its time, was constructed in the late 19th century to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Queen Victoria's reign. The tower, with its intricate Gothic design and four large clock faces, was a popular landmark in Allahabad. During the trade exhibition, the clock tower was illuminated with thousands of bulbs, creating a stunning visual spectacle that drew crowds from all corners of the city. The dark night sky contrasted sharply with the bright lights, making the clock tower stand out even more. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the blend of Indian and colonial influences during the British Raj. The clock tower, a symbol of time and progress, stands proudly against the backdrop of the bustling trade exhibition, reflecting the spirit of innovation and industry that thrived in Allahabad during the early 1900s. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of India during the colonial era, and serves as a reminder of the significant role that Allahabad played in the country's industrial and commercial growth.
