EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of The Mall in Lahore, Punjab, British India, circa 1914. The Mall, a tree-lined boulevard, was the heart of the city's commercial and administrative district during the British colonial rule. The image showcases an array of shops and stores, each with distinctive signs, including a piano shop, a saloon, a tailor, and a saddler. The architectural grandeur of the buildings is evident, with their ornate facades and colonial-era design. The road is filled with a diverse mix of transport, from horse-drawn carriages to bicycles and automobiles. The presence of the British Raj is palpable, with the Bevan and Richard signage, a well-known British trading company during that era, adding to the colonial ambiance. The Mall was a symbol of the British Empire's influence and prosperity in Punjab. It was a place where the city's elite and affluent residents would gather for shopping, socializing, and conducting business. The vibrant scene in this photograph reflects the energy and dynamism of Lahore during the 1910s, a time of significant growth and development under British rule. Despite the passage of time and the political changes that followed, this image remains an essential record of Lahore's rich history and cultural heritage. Today, The Mall continues to be a popular tourist destination and a reminder of the city's past as a thriving commercial and cultural hub during the British colonial era in India.
