Camel-carriage used by the Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjaub, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Camel-carriage used by the Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjaub, [India], 1864. Engraving from a photograph by 'Messrs. Howard, Shepherd, and Bourne, of Calcutta, taken at Government House, Lahore...[It] represents the camel-carriage in the possession of Sir Robert Montgomery, the Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjaub. As a means of travelling over the sandy plains that exist in the Punjaub, and particularly along the frontier of that province, where good roads are scarce, carriages drawn by camels are found to be of great service. These animals travel at an easy trot, and will go forty miles a day'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the dusty plains of Punjab in the mid-19th century with this rare and fascinating photograph print. Depicting a camel-carriage used by Sir Robert Montgomery, Lieutenant-Governor of Punjaub (now Pakistan), this image captures a unique moment in history when European administrators adapted to local conditions. The carriage, drawn by sturdy camels, was an innovative solution for traversing the arid terrain and frontier regions where good roads were scarce.
Taken at Government House in Lahore (then capital of Punjab) around 1864, this photograph showcases the resourcefulness of colonial administrators like Montgomery who relied on camel-drawn carriages to navigate the region. The image also highlights the cultural exchange between European colonizers and local populations during a period marked by British Imperial expansion.
This remarkable print is an engraved reproduction from 'Illustrated London News' (1864), offering a glimpse into life in 19th-century India under colonial rule. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity, adaptability, and the enduring power of photography to capture moments that shape our understanding of history.
