EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to a bygone era, capturing the essence of Srinagar, Kashmir in 1868. The image showcases an enchanting scene of the Old Bridge on the Mar Canal, standing as a testament to British craftsmanship and engineering prowess during their occupation of India. The bridge itself is a remarkable architectural marvel, exuding both strength and elegance. Its intricate design reflects the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of Baker & Burke, the renowned British engineers responsible for its construction between 1867 and 1872. Their expertise is evident in every curve and arch that graces this magnificent structure. As we gaze upon this albumen silver print, we are transported back in time to witness life along the canal. The tranquil waters reflect picturesque scenes - boats gliding gracefully through its calm surface while locals go about their daily routines on its banks. The composition captures not only the physical beauty of Srinagar but also provides us with a glimpse into its rich cultural heritage. This photograph serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate how different yet similar life was over a century ago. With each passing moment spent admiring this extraordinary piece from our past, we become more connected to those who came before us – their stories etched within these delicate silver grains suspended in time.
