EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the breathtaking view of Simla in 1845, a hill station nestled in the foothills of the majestic Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh, India. The image showcases a serene countryside scene with lush fir trees, a charming footbridge over a tranquil stream, and the towering mountain range in the background.
Simla, now known as Shimla, was once the summer capital of British India due to its cooler climate at higher altitudes. This engraving from "Hindostan, The Shores of the Red Sea, and The Himalaya Mountains" exudes an air of nostalgia for a bygone era when rural life was simpler and more rustic.
Created by William Purser in the 19th century, this piece is not just a visual representation but also serves as a historical document capturing regionalism and geographical features unique to this part of India. It's no wonder why Miss Emma Roberts included it in her collection.
As you gaze upon this print, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time to experience the beauty and tranquility of Simla during its colonial heyday. A true masterpiece that pays homage to nature's splendor and man's ingenuity captured through Purser's skilled hand.
