EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken by the renowned Bourne and Shepherd studio in the late 19th century, transports us back in time to the bustling town of Peshawar, located at the entrance of the Khyber Pass in what is now Pakistan. The image showcases a halt of a camel caravan, a common sight during the colonial era when this region was under British rule. The caravan, laden with goods and merchandise, appears to be taking a much-needed rest amidst the ancient architecture of the town. The grand, colonial houses with their stone facades and red-tiled roofs, reminiscent of the Victorian era, can be seen in the background. The center of the frame is occupied by the imposing archway of a colonial landmark, its intricate design a testament to the rich history and culture of the region. The camels, with their humps sagging under the weight of their burden, seem to be taking a breather from their arduous journey through the desert. The caravan's handlers, dressed in traditional attire, can be seen tending to the animals, while the townspeople go about their daily business in the streets below. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the early days of the British Raj and the imperial era. It is a reminder of the ancient trade routes that once connected the East and the West, and the diverse cultures that thrived along these historic highways. The image is a treasure trove of history, inviting us to explore the stories of the people and places that have shaped the world as we know it today.
