EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic visit of Lord Lansdowne, Viceroy of India from 1888 to 1894, to the enchanting city of Srinagar in the late 1890s. The image showcases the Viceroy and his entourage leaving the city by river barge, surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the Jhelum River and the majestic Himalayan mountains in the backdrop. Srinagar, the summer capital of the Jammu and Kashmir province, was known for its stunning beauty and rich cultural heritage during the British Raj. The city was famous for its gardens, lakes, and traditional Mughal and Kashmiri architecture, which can be seen in the background of the photograph. The Viceroy's visit to Srinagar was an important event in the history of the region, as it marked the beginning of significant infrastructure development. During his tenure, Lord Lansdowne initiated the construction of the Zabarwan Tunnel, which provided a much-needed water supply to the city. This photograph offers a glimpse into the early 20th century, a time when India was under British rule, and the country was undergoing rapid transformation. The image showcases the urban landscape of Srinagar, with its traditional houses, bustling streets, and historic landmarks, providing a fascinating insight into the architectural and cultural heritage of the region. The vintage feel of the photograph, with its muted colors and grainy texture, adds to its historical significance and makes it a valuable addition to any collection of Indian history or travel photography.
