EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Lahore, Pakistan, specifically showcasing the majestic exterior of the Charring Cross Hotel. Taken around 1890 by an unidentified author, this image captures not only a building but also a glimpse into the architectural style and transportation methods of that era. The Charring Cross Hotel stands tall and proud, its columned structure exuding grandeur and elegance. The intricate building elements and decorative sections showcase the attention to detail put into its construction. An open gallery on one side adds a touch of charm to this commercial establishment. In front of the hotel, we see a scene bustling with activity. A coach is parked nearby, hinting at the preferred method of transportation during those times – traveling by land was still prominent. The road leading up to the hotel is filled with people going about their daily lives. This photograph not only documents an iconic landmark but also provides valuable insights into life in Lahore over a century ago. It invites us to imagine what it would have been like to stroll along these streets or perhaps even stay at this prestigious hotel. Preserved by Alinari, this historical gem allows us to appreciate both architecture enthusiasts and history buffs alike. It serves as a reminder that while cities evolve and modernize over time, there will always be remnants of our past waiting for us to discover them through photographs such as this one from Unidentified Author's lens.
