EDITORS COMMENTS
India - Bombay from Rajabai Tower early 1900s" is an evocative and captivating image from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage photograph transports us back in time to the early 1900s in Bombay, now known as Mumbai, India. The black and white image showcases a breathtaking view of the cityscape from the vantage point of Rajabai Tower. Rajabai Tower, a Gothic Revival style structure, was completed in 1892 and is named after Rajabai, the wife of the Bombay Presidency's then Governor, Sir Dorabji Tata. The tower stands proudly in the foreground of the photograph, its tall, arched windows and intricate stonework illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns. Beyond Rajabai Tower, the city of Bombay sprawls out before us, a bustling metropolis of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The image reveals a dense urban landscape, with narrow streets, colonial-style buildings, and the bustling port of Bombay visible in the distance. The British Raj's influence is palpable, with the Union Jack flying proudly from atop one of the buildings. The photograph captures the essence of Bombay during the height of the British Empire, a time of colonialism, cultural exchange, and economic growth. The image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the city during this period, as well as the lives of the people who called it home. This photograph is a valuable historical record, offering a glimpse into the past and providing insight into the rich cultural and architectural heritage of Bombay. It is a testament to the power of photography to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the complex and fascinating history of India and its people.
