EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Victoria Terminus Building in Mumbai during the 1860s-70s. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its historical significance. The photograph is a testament to the artistry and technical skill of albumen printing, a popular technique in the 19th century. The Victoria Terminus Building, also known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, stands proudly as a symbol of India's rich architectural heritage. Its Gothic design, crafted by Frederick William Stevens, seamlessly blends Victorian elegance with Indian influences. This grand railway station has served as a vital transportation hub for over a century. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when steam trains ruled the tracks and bustling crowds filled its platforms. The image captures not only the physical beauty of the structure but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for an age gone by. Preserved within the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph is more than just documentation; it represents an important piece of history that continues to inspire awe today. Through this lens into Mumbai's past, we gain insight into how transport and architecture have shaped our world. Let us marvel at this extraordinary creation captured by an anonymous artist who immortalized one of India's most cherished landmarks - Victoria Terminus Building - forever etched in monochrome splendor.
