EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of Rawalpindi, in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) of Pakistan, during the 1910s. The image showcases two distinct areas of the town: Roberts Barracks, located on West Ridge, and the bustling bazaar below. Roberts Barracks, a prominent British military installation, is seen on the left side of the photograph. Named after Sir John Robert, the British Resident of the Punjab, the barracks were built in the late 19th century to house the British military personnel and their families. The red-roofed buildings with whitewashed walls stand proudly against the backdrop of the rugged hills, creating a stark contrast between the colonial presence and the natural landscape. On the right side of the photograph, the lively bazaar comes alive with activity. The narrow, winding streets are filled with vendors selling an array of goods, from textiles and spices to pottery and metalwork. The vibrant colors of the merchandise, the animated conversations between buyers and sellers, and the bustling crowds create a sense of energy and vitality. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Rawalpindi, a town that has witnessed the convergence of diverse cultures and the clash of empires. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of a bygone era.
