Archival photograph of Karfule under construction
Art Deco Mumbai
Mumbai, India
This archival photograph shows the pump under construction in the 1938. Note the vertical steel members in the foreground, around which cement was poured to build the structure's foundation - a revolutionary departure from construction in stone. The image further highlights the highly skilled, hand-made, quality of Bombay Deco.
