EDITORS COMMENTS
This late 19th century photograph captures the majestic beauty of Mayo College in Ajmer, India. Established in 1875, Mayo College was founded by the British Raj as a residential school for Indian princes and the sons of the ruling class. The college was named after the then Viceroy of India, the Marquess of Lansdowne, who was also known as the Earl of Mayo. The photograph showcases the grandeur and architectural elegance of the college buildings, which were designed by the renowned British architect, Henry Irwin. The red sandstone structures with their intricate carvings and arches exude an aura of traditional Indian and British architectural fusion. The sprawling campus, dotted with trees and lush greenery, provides a serene and picturesque setting. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the urban landscape of Ajmer during the late 19th century. The streets, lined with traditional Indian houses and shops, add to the charm of the image. The presence of horse-drawn carriages and people in traditional Indian attire further emphasizes the historic and cultural significance of the era. Mayo College continues to be a landmark and a symbol of India's rich cultural heritage. It has played an important role in shaping the lives of many Indian princes and nobles, and its legacy continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world. This photograph serves as a reminder of the colonial past and the unique blend of Indian and British influences that shaped the country during the late 19th century.
