EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'The Cathedral, Bombay' and captured by renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne in the late 1860s, offers a glimpse into the rich architectural and religious history of Bombay, now known as Mumbai, India. The image showcases the stunning interior of St. Thomas Cathedral, a neo-Gothic masterpiece that stands as a testament to the influence of British colonial rule in India during the Victorian era. The photograph captures the grandeur of the cathedral's aisle, with its high arched ceilings, intricately carved columns, and ornate altar. The Gothic Revival architectural style, popular during the 19th century, is evident in the cathedral's stained glass windows, which bathe the interior in soft, colorful light. The Cathedral of St. Thomas, built in the late 1600s, holds significant historical and religious importance for the Christian community in India. The cathedral was originally built to serve the British East India Company and the British community in Bombay. The photograph, taken during the Victorian era, reflects the British influence on Indian architecture and the spread of Christianity in the region. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical and artistic images of India during the colonial era. The black and white image, with its intricate details and atmospheric quality, invites viewers to explore the history and culture of Bombay and India during this period. The photograph is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
