EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Hira Gateway, located in Dabhoi, Gujarat, India circa 1925. The Hira Bhagol, a remarkable architectural structure with a history spanning over 700 years, is the centerpiece of this image. Sadly, it met its demise in 2006 when it collapsed. Produced as part of the second series by Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd. , this cigarette card captures the essence of British Raj-era India. The intricate carvings on the gateway showcase the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into its construction. The photograph allows us to admire not only the grandeur of this ancient structure but also provides a glimpse into life within a walled city. The towering walls surrounding Dabhoi create an impressive backdrop for this architectural gem. As we explore every corner of this monochrome landscape, we are transported to another era where archways and stone buildings dominated cityscapes. This print serves as both a collectible piece and a historical document that sheds light on Gujarat's rich cultural heritage. Although created by an unknown artist or photographer, their work has preserved an important slice of Indian history for future generations to appreciate. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past and honor those who have captured them through their lenses or brushes.
