EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the architectural marvel of Jehangir Kothari Parade, a testament to Karachi's rich history during the British colonial period. Standing tall against a backdrop of a clear blue sky, this majestic structure is an embodiment of grandeur and elegance. The creative use of brick and sandstone in its construction adds to its timeless beauty, while the orange accents highlight its intricate details. The absence of people allows us to fully appreciate the sheer magnificence and scale of this landmark. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back in time, imagining the hustle and bustle that once surrounded these old pillars. The weathered stairs leading up to the dome evoke a sense of mystery and curiosity about what lies inside. This photograph not only captures an architectural masterpiece but also serves as a window into Karachi's vibrant past. It reminds us of how architecture can be more than just buildings; it is an integral part of our cultural heritage. Akhtar Soomro's keen eye for detail has beautifully immortalized this piece of architectural history through his lens. This print invites us to appreciate the harmonious blend between nature and human ingenuity, reminding us that even amidst modernization, traces from our past continue to inspire awe and admiration.
