EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Dalhousie Square in Calcutta captures the essence of a bygone era in the bustling city. The image, taken by an Indian photographer in the 19th century, showcases the historic square with its colonial architecture and busy streets.
Dalhousie Square, now known as B.B.D. Bagh, was once the heart of British India's administrative center. The grand buildings and wide boulevards depicted in this photograph are a testament to Calcutta's rich history as a major hub of trade and commerce.
The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the scene, transporting viewers back to a simpler time when horse-drawn carriages filled the streets and men in top hats strolled along the sidewalks. The intricate details captured by Johnston and Hoffman, two renowned photographers from Calcutta, bring this historic moment to life with stunning clarity.
As we gaze upon this snapshot of early 20th-century Calcutta, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed since then. Yet amidst all the transformations that have taken place over the years, one thing remains constant - the enduring beauty and charm of this vibrant city on the banks of river Hooghly.
