EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white albumen print, titled 'Bombay, The Said-Memon Street, Late 1860s' by Samuel Bourne, captures a bustling street scene in Bombay (now Mumbai), India during the nineteenth century. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant city life of Bombay, which was then a major British colonial outpost in Hindustan. The image showcases the architectural grandeur of the era with the intricately designed facades of the buildings lining the street. The buildings, with their ornate details and tall, imposing structures, reflect the British influence on Indian architecture during this period. The street is filled with a sense of activity, with people going about their daily lives, adding to the dynamic energy of the scene. Samuel Bourne, a renowned British photographer, captured this image during the late 1860s. His expertise in photography is evident in the sharp contrast and clarity of the image, which brings the busy street to life. The photograph is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), providing a valuable insight into the history and cultural significance of Bombay during the nineteenth century. The photograph, with its timeless appeal and historical significance, invites viewers to explore the rich heritage and diverse culture of Bombay and India during the British colonial era.
