This is a pictorial depiction of the life in Lahore during the British rule in the subcontinent. This was a time where the camera came into this region. The life and time were captured by many people during this era. We collected some of those pictures and presented them here for you.

We exercised due care and diligence in reporting the year of the photos, however, any mistake in writing the year of a photo is inadvertently mine, therefore, it should be excused. Any correction suggested by the viewers will be noted for the next editions.
