Modern Bombay before 1893

This anonymous black and white photograph titled "Modern Bombay," taken before 1893, provides a glimpse of the cityscape of Bombay, now Mumbai, India. The image shows a cityscape with tall buildings along the waterfront, showcasing a blend of traditional and modern architecture. The photograph, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the city’s growth and modernization during the British colonial era. Its small size, measuring only 115 mm in height and 177 mm in width, makes it a personal, yet historically valuable, artifact.
