EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 20th century in Bombay, India. The image showcases a traditional mode of transportation known as a reckla - an ox-drawn passenger vehicle that was commonly used on the bustling streets of this vibrant city. The scene is filled with vivid colors and depicts a busy road where people are going about their daily lives. The reckla stands out with its unique design, featuring two strong oxen pulling a carriage-like structure. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and ingenuity of Indian transportation systems. The driver, skillfully maneuvering through the crowded street, exudes confidence and expertise acquired over years of navigating these narrow lanes. Passengers can be seen comfortably seated inside the reckla, enjoying their journey while taking in the sights and sounds around them. This photograph not only captures an iconic moment from India's past but also provides insight into how people traveled within cities during that era. It transports us to a time when road transport was dominated by animal-powered vehicles like this ox-drawn reckla. As we gaze at this remarkable print, we are reminded of Mumbai's (formerly Bombay) historical significance as one of India's major economic centers and its ability to blend tradition with modernity seamlessly. This image truly encapsulates the essence of life in early 20th-century India and invites us to appreciate both its beauty and complexity.
