EDITORS COMMENTS
Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), India's financial and entertainment capital, is a bustling metropolis that has been a melting pot of cultures for centuries. This photograph, taken circa 1907, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the stunning view of the city from the Clocktower. The image reveals a panoramic scene of the Mumbai harbor, teeming with ships and boats, as they navigate through the natural harbor. The iconic Gateway of India, a monument built to commemorate the landing of King George V and Queen Mary in 1911, stands proudly at the water's edge. The towering silhouette of the Asiatic Society Building can be seen in the background, adding to the architectural grandeur of the city. The photograph also highlights the vibrant colors of the city, with the red and white stripes of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (formerly known as the Prince of Wales Museum) and the green expanse of the Esplanade Maidan adding a splash of color to the monochrome scene. The narrow lanes and bustling streets of the city can be seen winding their way up the hills, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the residents. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Mumbai. It invites us to take a journey back in time and appreciate the beauty and resilience of this remarkable city. The Clocktower, a symbol of the British colonial rule, stands as a reminder of the city's past, while the vibrant cityscape around it showcases its dynamic present and promising future.
