EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic beauty of The Viceregal Palace in Simla, circa 1890. Standing proudly on the Observatory Hills of Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, this stately residence served as the official abode for the Viceroy of India during colonial times. Built between 1880-88 in the Jacobethan style by renowned British architect Henry Irwin, this grand palace exudes imperial charm and architectural splendor. Its imposing exterior reflects the power and influence of the British Empire in India. The image was skillfully captured by an English photographer from Bourne and Shepherd photographic studio, showcasing their mastery in capturing intricate details and timeless elegance. This historic print now resides within a private collection. As one gazes upon this remarkable photograph, they are transported back to an era when India was under British rule. It serves as a poignant reminder of both the opulence enjoyed by those who held positions of authority during that time and also represents a significant chapter in Indian history. Today known as Rashtrapati Niwas or The Viceregal Lodge, this architectural gem continues to stand tall amidst Shimla's picturesque landscape. It remains a symbol of colonial-era architecture blended with local influences—a testament to its enduring legacy that has stood witness to countless historical moments throughout its existence.
