EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to Simla, India, in the year 1868. The image captures a delightful scene of a pic-nic sic amongst the trees at Annandale, skillfully captured by renowned English photographer Samuel Bourne. The composition is filled with an air of tranquility and joy as a group of people gather under the shade of towering trees. They are surrounded by lush greenery that creates a serene backdrop for their leisurely afternoon outing. The sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on their faces and picnic blankets. Bourne's mastery behind the lens is evident in this albumen silver print. He expertly captures not only the picturesque landscape but also manages to convey a sense of camaraderie among those present. Their smiles and relaxed postures suggest they are enjoying each other's company amidst nature's beauty. Simla was known as a popular summer retreat during British colonial rule in India, attracting both locals and expatriates seeking respite from the sweltering heat elsewhere in the country. This photograph serves as a window into that era, offering us glimpses into how people spent their leisure time amidst Simla's enchanting natural surroundings. As we admire this historical gem from Bourne's lens, let us appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its significance as part of our shared cultural heritage.
