EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Departure English Mail Post Office Simla Lala Deen" transports us back to the late 19th century in colonial India. The image, captured by renowned Indian photographer Lala Deen Dayal between 1885 and 1887, showcases the bustling scene outside the post office in Simla. In this snapshot of history, we witness a significant moment as the English mail departs from its designated post office. The composition beautifully captures the architectural charm of the building with its grand columns and intricate details. People from all walks of life gather around, eagerly awaiting news from distant lands. The albumen silver print technique used for this photograph adds depth and richness to every detail, enhancing our visual experience. As we examine each face in the crowd, we can almost sense their anticipation and curiosity about what lies beyond their immediate surroundings. Lala Deen Dayal's mastery behind the lens is evident in his ability to freeze time and immortalize such fleeting moments. His work not only serves as a historical record but also offers a glimpse into daily life during an era marked by British influence on Indian soil. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate how photography has allowed us to travel through time and connect with stories that would have otherwise been lost to history.
