EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century vintage photograph, titled 'India - Lucknow,' captures the essence of the British colonial era in India during the late 1800s. The image, taken between the 1860s and 1901, showcases the scenic beauty and rich cultural heritage of the city of Lucknow, which was then a significant administrative center under the British Raj. The photograph, possibly taken using the albumen or collodion process, depicts a serene landscape along the banks of a river, with traditional Indian houses and structures in the background. In the foreground, a shepherd is seen tending to his flock, dressed in simple robes, while a group of men, likely soldiers or laborers, are seen in the distance, dressed in colonial attire. The architectural details of the buildings, with their intricate designs and red-tiled roofs, reflect the blending of Indian and European influences during this period. The image also provides a glimpse into the daily life of the people during the British colonial era, offering a historical perspective on the social and cultural fabric of India during this time. The photograph, which is part of the extensive archive of Samuel Bourne and John Thomson, is a testament to the rich and diverse history of India and the Asian continent during the Victorian era. It invites viewers to explore the complexities of the colonial past and the enduring legacy of the British Raj in India.
