Bombay Rampart Row, from Esplanade Hotel, Late 1860s
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting black and white albumen print by renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne. Captured in the late 1860s, this photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Mumbai, India, during the British colonial era. The image showcases a stunning view of Bombay Rampart Row from the Esplanade Hotel. Rampart Row, also known as Army and Navy Building, is a historic row of buildings located in South Mumbai. The structures, with their grand facades and imposing arches, are a testament to the architectural brilliance of the time. The buildings, lined up along the thoroughfare, create an avenue of elegance and sophistication. The photograph is a monochrome masterpiece, with the play of light and shadow adding depth and texture to the image. The buildings, standing tall against the clear blue sky, appear majestic and imposing. The Esplanade Hotel, with its whitewashed walls and red-tiled roof, is a prominent feature in the foreground. The image also offers a glimpse of the bustling city beyond, with the busy streets and vibrant life adding a sense of energy and vitality. Samuel Bourne, a pioneering photographer, captured this image during the nineteenth century, a time when India was under British rule. The photograph is a valuable historical document, offering insights into the architecture, culture, and history of Bombay during that era. Today, it is a cherished piece of heritage art, showcasing the beauty and grandeur of a bygone era. This photograph is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world.
