EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Market Day in Peshawur, 1905" by Mortimer Luddington Menpes takes us back to the bustling streets of India during the early 20th century. The image showcases a vibrant market scene filled with people going about their daily activities. In the foreground, a group of men can be seen engaging in trade under colorful awnings, representing the lively commerce that took place in this country setting. The photograph captures the essence of Indian culture and provides a glimpse into life at that time. The street vendor's stall is adorned with various goods, attracting customers from all walks of life. In the background, additional figures add depth and context to this busy marketplace. Menpes' attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays not only the physical surroundings but also conveys a sense of atmosphere through his use of color and composition. This particular print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and its historical significance. Taken within British India's Northwest Frontier Province, specifically Peshawar (now part of Pakistan), this image reflects elements of imperialism prevalent during that era. However, beyond political implications lies an authentic representation capturing everyday life in Hindoostan. Preserved by The Print Collector29 and featured in Flora Annie Steel's book "India" this remarkable piece serves as a valuable window into history for those who wish to explore India's rich cultural heritage through artistry and photography.
