EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling Old Court House Street in Kolkata, India during the 1860s. The image transports us back to a time when British photographer Samuel Bourne roamed the streets, capturing the essence of this vibrant city.
The architecture of the buildings lining the street is reminiscent of colonial Europe, with intricate details and grand facades that speak to a bygone era. Carriages drawn by majestic horses can be seen making their way through the crowded streets, adding a sense of movement and life to the scene.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of Kolkata's rich cultural heritage and its status as a major hub in colonial India. The blend of European influence and traditional Indian elements creates a unique atmosphere that is both nostalgic and enchanting.
The black-and-white tones add a timeless quality to the photograph, allowing us to appreciate every detail with clarity. From the cobblestone streets to the bustling activity all around, every aspect of Old Court House Street comes alive in this stunning image.
Through Ken Welsh's lens, we are given a glimpse into Kolkata's past - a world filled with charm, elegance, and undeniable beauty. It is truly a masterpiece that captures the spirit of this historic city in all its glory.
