EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Peshawar Fort and surroundings, from Jail, c. 1862" offers a glimpse into the rich history of Peshawar in India's North West Frontier. Taken by either William Baker or John Burke, this image is believed to be one of the earliest ever captured of this ancient city. The focal point of the photo is undoubtedly the majestic Peshawar Fort, standing tall amidst its surroundings. Its imposing walls and intricate architecture speak volumes about its historical significance as a fortification in protecting the region. The fort overlooks a portion of the Grand Trunk Road, an iconic route that connected Bengal to the legendary Khyber Pass. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, we notice people going about their daily lives along the road. Their presence adds a sense of scale and humanity to this otherwise monumental scene. A solitary tree stands proudly nearby, offering shade and respite from the scorching sun. Photographed by J Burke as part of his extensive album collection capturing various aspects of Indian culture and society during that era; it serves as a testament to his keen eye for detail and commitment to documenting history. This remarkable print allows us to travel back in time over 150 years ago when Peshawar was still emerging as a bustling hub on an important trade route. It invites us to appreciate not only its architectural marvels but also reflects upon how societies evolve over time while preserving their heritage for generations to come.
