EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the vibrant and diverse culture of Bombay (now Mumbai) in the late 19th century. The procession in the bustling street is a testament to the rich ethnic tapestry of India during this era. The archaic structures of the European-style buildings, with their ornate facades and tall spires, stand proudly alongside native Indian houses, adorned with intricate patterns and bright colors. The people in traditional attire, with their distinct ethnicities and customs, add to the ethnographic charm of the scene. The street is filled with a cacophony of sounds, from the clanging of temple bells to the chatter of vendors selling their wares. The landscape is a unique blend of the old and the new, with the urban landscape of Bombay's streets and the native town's traditional structures coexisting harmoniously. This image offers a glimpse into the historic past of India, a time when the country was undergoing significant changes, yet preserving its indigenous roots. The architectural landmarks, the vibrant scenery, and the native people make this a captivating view from the 1880s, a time when Bombay was transforming into a modern city while holding onto its rich cultural heritage.
