1. Title: "A Revered Past: Small Temples on the River Bank of India (Circa 1890s)" This evocative black and white lantern slide, number 39 of Box 221 in the Boswell Collection, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex history of India during the late 19th century. The image captures a serene riverbank, dotted with a multitude of small temples, their intricate architectural details standing in stark relief against the tranquil water. The temples, bathed in the soft, ethereal light of the lantern, exude an air of ancient wisdom and spiritual significance. Their timeworn facades, adorned with intricate carvings and ornate decorations, speak to the deep-rooted cultural traditions that have shaped India for centuries. The river, with its gentle current, mirrors the ebb and flow of life, as it has done for millennia. The temples, nestled on its banks, serve as a testament to the enduring connection between the Indian people and their faith. The lantern slide, produced during the late 1890s, offers a rare and captivating glimpse into the past. It invites us to reflect on the rich history and cultural heritage of India, a land that continues to captivate and inspire the world. This image, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, is an invaluable addition to any collection of photographs documenting the history and culture of India. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the past, as we continue to navigate the complexities of the present and look towards the future. The Boswell Collection, housed at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a treasure trove of historical images that offer unique insights into the world of the past. This particular lantern slide, with its stunning depiction of small temples on the river bank of India, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of this fascinating country.
