EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Bazaar at Amritsar, 1905" takes us back in time to the vibrant streets of India during the early 20th century. The artist behind this masterpiece is Mortimer Luddington Menpes, who skillfully captures the essence of a bustling market scene. Underneath the warm sunlight, we see a diverse group of people engaged in their daily activities. Women clad in colorful sarees gracefully navigate through the crowd while men go about their business with purposeful strides. The atmosphere is filled with energy and excitement as shoppers explore various shops adorned with awnings. The image not only showcases the rich culture and traditions of India but also hints at its connection to science and astronomy. Amidst the busy market stands a man holding what appears to be an intriguing solar system model, symbolizing mankind's eternal curiosity about our place within it. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to a bygone era where city life thrived amidst imperialistic influences. This photograph serves as a testament to British India's complex relationship with its local people - an amalgamation of cultures that shaped Amritsar into what it was then. Thanks to Mortimer Menpes' artistic vision and Flora A. Steel's accompanying text, this print allows us to appreciate both the visual beauty and historical significance of Amritsar's bazaar in all its glory.
