EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of Lahore's pot sellers in the early 1900s, as documented by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image transports us back in time to the Victorian and Edwardian eras, when Lahore was a vibrant city under British colonial rule. The photograph showcases a group of pot sellers displaying their wares on the dusty streets of Lahore. The sellers, dressed in traditional attire, are seen arranging colorful pots and earthenware on mats, while customers haggle over prices and examine the goods. In the background, the towering minarets of the Badshahi Mosque can be seen, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the city. The warm glow of lanterns casts an ethereal light over the scene, adding to the sense of mystery and intrigue. The photograph also reveals the influence of British colonialism, with a horse-drawn carriage and European-style buildings visible in the distance. This vintage image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the daily life of Lahore's pot sellers during a time of great change and transformation. It invites us to reflect on the complex history of India under colonial rule and the resilience and adaptability of its people.
