EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the late 19th century in India, transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and tradition. The image showcases a pony and trap hackney carriage cab, a popular mode of transportation during the British colonial rule. The photograph, captured on an albumen print or collodion process, beautifully highlights the intricate details of the carriage, from the ornate metalwork to the vibrant colors adorning the vehicle. The men in traditional Indian attire, seated alongside the carriage, add an authentic touch to the scene, further emphasizing the rich cultural heritage of the region. The Victorian-era aesthetic is evident in the way the photograph has been composed, with a focus on symmetry and a sense of order. This historic moment in time, frozen in this photograph, offers us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of India's history during the 1880s and 1890s.
