EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the late 19th or early 20th century, capturing the essence of The Mall Road in Simla, India. Once the summer capital of the British Raj, Simla provided respite from the sweltering heat of Delhi and Calcutta for European settlers during that time. The image showcases a picturesque scene with a winding road lined by majestic trees on either side. People can be seen leisurely strolling along this charming avenue, enjoying the tranquility and natural beauty surrounding them. The mountain range in the distance adds an awe-inspiring backdrop to this idyllic setting. Simla's significance as a hill station is evident in this photograph - it served as a retreat for those seeking solace amidst nature's splendor. This particular print captures not only the geographical features but also offers glimpses into daily life during that era. Preserved through lantern slide technology, this historical artifact allows us to delve into India's past under British rule. It serves as a reminder of how different cultures intertwined within colonial territories like Hindoostan (India) during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand what life was like on The Mall Road - an integral part of Simla's heritage and its connection to both Indian and British history.
