EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, showcasing Lahore, India in the early 1900s. The photograph, taken during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, presents a vintage scene of the bustling city under the soft glow of a lantern-lit street. Lahore, the second largest city in Pakistan and once the cultural and spiritual center of the Punjab region in British India, is depicted here as a thriving colonial outpost of the British Empire. The image reveals a harmonious blend of Eastern and Western influences, with horse-drawn carriages and European-style buildings standing alongside traditional Indian structures and people dressed in both Western and traditional attire. The lantern-lit street, illuminating the way for pedestrians and carriages, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The intricate details of the buildings, from the ornate balconies to the intricately carved wooden doors, are a testament to the rich architectural heritage of the region. The people, dressed in a variety of colorful garments, add a vibrant touch to the image, reflecting the diverse and multicultural population of Lahore during this period. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and culture of Lahore during the early 1900s. The image is a poignant reminder of the complex and intriguing history of colonialism in India and the lasting impact it had on the region and its people.
