EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fruit Stalls at Delhi, 1905" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of India during the early 20th century. Captured by artist Mortimer Luddington Menpes, this image showcases a vibrant scene filled with nature's bounty and local culture. In the foreground, we see several women seated comfortably on the roadside, tending to their fruit stalls. Dressed in traditional Indian attire, they exude grace and elegance as they interact with potential customers passing by. The colorful array of fruits beautifully contrasts against the backdrop of a sunlit lane lined with trees. The sunlight filtering through the leaves creates an enchanting play of light and shadow, adding depth to this snapshot of everyday life. As we gaze upon this scene from over a century ago, it is evident that commerce thrived even then - locals engaging in street shopping while enjoying the warmth of natural sunlight. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to India's rich cultural heritage. It reminds us of how people across generations have relied on nature's abundance for sustenance and livelihoods. As we admire this piece from Mortimer Menpes' collection featured in "India" written by Flora A. Steel, we are transported into an era where British imperialism had left its mark on Hindoostan (British India). This print stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document that allows us to reflect upon our shared human experiences throughout different
