EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, showcases the breathtaking view of Simla, also known as Shimla, in India. Nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, Simla was a popular summer retreat for the British Raj elite, who sought refuge from the sweltering heat of the plains. The serene landscape is adorned with lush green trees, their leaves a vibrant contrast against the clear blue sky. A winding road snakes its way through the hills, leading to the quaint town nestled in the valley below. People can be seen meandering along the road, their figures adding a sense of scale and liveliness to the scene. The rich history of Simla is palpable in this photograph, with its colonial architecture and British influence evident in the road layout and the European attire of some of the people. The photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the allure that drew the British to this picturesque hill station in the Indian subcontinent.
