A street in Bombay

Artist: Simpson, William (1823 – 1899) Medium: Chromolithograph Date: 1867

This chromolithograph is taken from plate 4 0f William Simpson’s ‘India: Ancient and Modern. The artist depicts the teeming street of the bustling city of Bombay (Mumbai), a hub of India trade. A distinct feature of the architecture was the elaborate red-and-green coloured carving on wooden pillars and beams of houses. The man in a white turban reading a book is a Parsi priest. Simpson wrote : “the high turban of a Parsi Is sure to greet you everywhere”. The Parsis were adherents of the Zoroastrian religion and mostly concentrated in Bombay. Their ancestors had fled Muslim persecution  in eighth-century Iran. At the time of this image they began to adopt items of western dress along with their native clothing.
