EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the majestic main entrance of the Apollo Hotel in Bombay, dating back to the late 19th century. The grandeur of this architectural masterpiece is evident as it stands tall and proud along a bustling sidewalk. In the foreground, a few parked gigs can be seen, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. The Apollo Hotel serves as a symbol of commerce and trade in this vibrant city. Its prominent sign proudly announces its presence to passersby, inviting them into its luxurious embrace. The intricate details of the building elements and decorations showcase exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported back in time to an urban landscape filled with life and activity. The gig carriages hint at a bygone era when land transportation was still prevalent. Beyond just capturing architecture and transportation, this photo provides us with glimpses into daily life during that period. Street scenes unfold before our eyes; Indians going about their day-to-day activities create an authentic atmosphere unique to Asiatic populations. This image not only offers us visual delight but also serves as an anthropological treasure. It allows us to explore ethnography and folklore through observing clothing styles, customs, and traditions specific to that time period. While we may never know who exactly took this photograph or why they did so, we can appreciate it for what it represents - a window into history frozen in time. This Alinari print preserves moments from long ago while reminding us of how much cities like Bombay have evolved over time.
