Limited Edition Glimpses of Bombay 100 Years Ago

 

Round Temple, Sandhurst Road
High fashion mall Palladium in south Mumbai has collaborated with World Luxury Council (India) and put on a vintage art exhibit called 'Bombay 100 Years Ago'. The first-of-its-kind Collectors' Edition of 100-year-old is an unpublished archive of prints of the city on canvas. These prints have been sourced from a private collector.

The concept of this collection is to elicit the bygone era of today's maximum city and present it to an audience who can only envision Bombay as it was 100 years ago, through the eyes of their forefathers.

Bombay Club
The prints have been revived with special ink and have a life span for the next 100 years. The World Luxury Council (India) will release 50 prints; and only 10 prints per picture can be produced 'on request', making this exhibit a limited-edition aficionado's pleasure. The council will donate part proceeds of the sale to Light of Life Trust.

The prints will be on view in the Atrium at the Palladium, Mumbai from August 15 to August 19, from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm.

The prints will be available on Bombay 100 Years Ago

A Chinese woman, clutching a child, grieves by the body of her slain husband, Dec. 30, 1937.

75 years ago, on Dec. 13, 1937, Japanese troops captured the city of Nanjing, then the capital of the Chinese republic led by Chiang Kai-shek and went on a six-week campaign of carnage and slaughter that would be forever remembered as the “Rape of Nanjing.” Reports document widespread rape and the indiscriminate killing of civilians; some death tolls estimate over a quarter of a million people were killed. The incident, though, still rankles Sino-Japanese relations. Japanese nationalists contend that the death tolls are inflated and the majority killed were resisting Japanese occupation. To this day, pages in Japanese school history textbooks can incite heated protests on the streets in China. Then and now, the Nanjing massacre remains one of the darkest events of the last century.—Ishaan Tharoor
