EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Roof Garden of Hotel d'Angelis, a colonial-era establishment located on Mount Road in Madras, now known as Chennai, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Circa 1910, the image transports us back in time to the British Raj era, with its intricate blend of Indian and European architectural influences. The Hotel d'Angelis, with its grand facade and ornate columns, stands proudly against the backdrop of the bustling city. The Roof Garden, a popular social hub for the European community residing in Madras, is adorned with tables and chairs set under the shade of tall, potted palms. The waiters, dressed in crisp white uniforms, move about the terrace with an air of efficiency, attending to the needs of their guests. A large, ornate clock, a common feature in colonial buildings, keeps watch over the scene. The wicker furniture, a popular choice for outdoor seating during the colonial period, adds to the overall charm of the setting. The Roof Garden offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the city below, allowing its guests to enjoy the cool breeze and picturesque views of the surrounding landscape. The photograph captures a moment in time when the British Empire held sway over India, and the Roof Garden at Hotel d'Angelis stood as a symbol of the opulence and grandeur of colonial Madras.
