EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white albumen print, captured by Samuel Bourne in the late 1860s, showcases the grandeur of Bombay's Victoria Terminus Station, also known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, during the British Raj in India. The Gothic Revival architectural masterpiece, a fusion of Gothic, Indo-Saracenic, and Victorian Gothic styles, served as the headquarters of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway. The intricately detailed facade of the station, with its pointed arches, ornate carvings, and elaborate stonework, reflects the British colonial influence in India during the 19th century. The neo-Gothic building, a testament to the grandeur of the Victorian era, stands proudly against the backdrop of Bombay's bustling streets and vibrant culture. The railway station, a vital transportation hub during the era of steam-powered trains, was a symbol of progress and modernity in India. The print, with its stark contrasts of white and black, invites the viewer to step back in time and experience the rich history and heritage of Bombay, now known as Mumbai, and India as a whole. This image, taken by renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne, is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its historical significance and artistic merit. The print continues to inspire awe and fascination, offering a glimpse into the past and the intriguing intersection of cultures and histories.
