EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the end of the 19th century with this stunning chromolithograph capturing a moment of luxury tourism in Mumbai. Western tourists are seen visiting the city on a traditional carriage, taking in the sights and sounds of this vibrant destination.
In the background looms the Zoroastrian Dakhma, also known as the Tower of Silence or Cheel Ghar. This sacred site holds deep cultural significance for followers of Zoroastrianism, serving as a place for sky burial rituals. The juxtaposition of ancient tradition and modern exploration is truly captivating.
The image exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, typical of the Belle Époque era from which it originates. The rich colors and intricate details transport us to a bygone time when travel was considered a luxurious adventure.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the allure and mystique that drew travelers to exotic destinations like Mumbai. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced world, there is still beauty to be found in exploring new cultures and traditions.
This print is not just a piece of art; it is a window into another world—one filled with wonder, curiosity, and endless possibilities for discovery.
