EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Power Transmission in India" takes us back to the early 20th century, capturing a moment of technological advancement and natural beauty. The image showcases the Sivasamudram Bridge, gracefully spanning over the majestic Cauvery Falls. The photograph, taken by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown, was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on July 26,1902. It is now part of a private collection and has been made available through Bridgeman Images. In this remarkable composition, we witness the convergence of two worlds: man-made infrastructure and the awe-inspiring force of nature. The piers of monoliths supporting the bridge stand as testaments to human engineering prowess while surrounded by cascading waterfalls that exemplify India's abundant water power. This snapshot offers a glimpse into India's early efforts in harnessing electricity through power transmission stations strategically placed along its rivers. Two notable locations mentioned are Bur Chooki and Gunga Chooki. Beyond its technical significance, this photograph also provides insight into Indian culture during that era. It portrays Indians going about their daily lives against a backdrop of progress and innovation. As we admire this vintage image captured with precision by an anonymous English photographer from the 20th century, we are reminded of how photography can preserve historical moments for generations to come.
