EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a significant moment in history - the construction of the iconic Gateway of India in Mumbai, India during the early 1900s. The image showcases the intricate architectural details and grandeur of this monumental structure as it takes shape against the backdrop of bustling activity.
The Gateway of India, a symbol of British colonial rule in India, was designed to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1911. The construction process depicted in this photograph highlights the meticulous craftsmanship and engineering prowess that went into creating this majestic monument.
The Edwardian era aesthetic is evident in every detail captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection. From the Victorian lantern slides to the ornate design elements, this image transports us back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Indian history.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage and architectural marvels that define India's past. The Gateway of India stands as a testament to resilience and ingenuity, serving as a timeless reminder of our shared history.
This print serves as a window into an era long gone but not forgotten, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and significance of one of Mumbai's most cherished landmarks.
