EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Kasauli, nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas near Sanawar and not far from Simla, India. The image, believed to have been captured around the year 1840, showcases the serene beauty of this quaint village, which was a popular destination for travelers and British residents during colonial times. The village of Kasauli, also known as Kussowlie, was a favorite retreat for those seeking respite from the summer heat of the plains. The cool climate and scenic vistas drew visitors from all walks of life, including the renowned English writer and traveler, Hilary Evans. Evans is said to have attended tea parties in this very village, immersing himself in the rich cultural experiences it had to offer. The photograph captures the quintessential charm of Kasauli, with its narrow, winding lanes, traditional houses, and lush greenery. The image transports us to a bygone era, where life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of nature were cherished. The village's close proximity to Simla, the former summer capital of British India, made it an ideal weekend getaway for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of colonial life. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural heritage that Kasauli holds. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this beautiful village, which continues to attract visitors from around the world even today.
