EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of The Treasury building in Rawalpindi, North-West Frontier Province, Pakistan, during the 1910s. The Treasury, a fortified edifice, stands proudly amidst lush greenery, its towering silhouette a testament to the British colonial rule in the region. The North-West Frontier Province, now known as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, was a semi-autonomous region under the British Raj, and Rawalpindi served as its administrative headquarters. The Treasury building, with its imposing towers and intricate stonework, was the seat of the provincial government's financial administration. The photograph's composition, with the building's towers framed by the trees, creates a sense of harmony between the man-made structure and the natural surroundings. The intricate details of the building's architecture, from the arched windows to the intricate carvings, are beautifully captured, revealing the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its ability to transport us back to an era of colonial rule, a time when Rawalpindi was a bustling hub of administrative activity. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a deeper understanding of the region's rich history and cultural heritage. The Treasury building, with its grandeur and fortified structure, continues to stand tall in Rawalpindi, serving as a reminder of the region's past and its enduring history.
