EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "View of the Seringham Pagodas, Trichinopoly (Tiruchirappalli)" by Samuel Bourne, transports us back to the 1860s in India. The image showcases the stunning architectural beauty of the Seringham Pagodas, a complex of temples located in the city of Tiruchirappalli, also known as Trichy. The intricate carvings and towering structures of the pagodas are a testament to the rich cultural heritage and history of the region. Samuel Bourne, a renowned British photographer of the 19th century, captured this moment in time using the albumen or collodion process, a popular photographic technique during that era. The resulting image is crisp and detailed, allowing us to explore the streets of Trichy as they were over a century ago. The photograph offers a glimpse into the urban landscape of the 1860s, with pedestrians and carts traversing the narrow streets, and the absence of motorized transport. The image also reveals the bustling commercial activity of the town, with vendors displaying their wares and people going about their daily routines. Despite the passage of time, this photograph remains a valuable historical document, providing insights into the daily life, architecture, and culture of India during the 19th century. The Seringham Pagodas, still standing today, continue to be a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to experience the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
