EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1920s, showcases the grandeur of Mayo Hospital in Lahore, Punjab, British India (now in Pakistan). The image, which is part of the King Edward Medical College wing, presents a stunning example of colonial architecture that once defined the British Raj. The large, symmetrical building is adorned with intricate domes and arches, reminiscent of Mughal and Islamic architectural influences. The central dome, with its ornate detailing and tall, slender minarets, stands proudly atop the structure, drawing the eye towards the heavens. The building's facade is further accentuated by the grand arches and balconies, which provide a sense of elegance and sophistication. The photograph also captures the bustling street below, with pedestrians and vehicles making their way along the road. The scene is a testament to the vibrant city life that thrived in Lahore during the British colonial era. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Punjab. Mayo Hospital, now known as Mayo Hospital Lahore, was established in 1864 and was one of the most prestigious medical institutions in British India. The hospital was named after Sir William Mayo, a renowned British surgeon, and was a symbol of the British Empire's commitment to providing quality medical care to its subjects. Today, the hospital continues to serve the people of Lahore and Pakistan, carrying forward its legacy as a beacon of healthcare excellence.
