EDITORS COMMENTS
A bustling scene from the Peshawar Fur Market in the North-West Frontier Province of India, circa 1910s. In this photograph, we see a chaotic yet organized chaos as bales of fur, carefully stacked and secured, are loaded onto carts for export. Oxen, strong and sturdy, pull the carts, their harnesses glistening with sweat in the harsh sunlight. The market, a hub of trade and commerce, was renowned for its high-quality furs, which were sought after by buyers from foreign lands. The men, mostly local traders and their sons, work diligently to ensure that the precious cargo is securely fastened. The market was a significant economic contributor to the region, providing employment opportunities and generating revenue. The fur trade was an integral part of the local culture, with the mullas (religious leaders) and chands (traders) playing pivotal roles in the community. The fur trade in Peshawar had a rich history, dating back centuries, and was a vital link in the broader trade network that connected India, Central Asia, and Europe. The furs, sourced from various parts of the region, were exported abroad, contributing to the global economy. The scene in this photograph is a testament to the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of the people of Peshawar, who, despite the challenges, continued to thrive in this vibrant and bustling marketplace.
