EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Hooghly Bridge in Calcutta, India. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, it is now part of a private collection. The image captures the essence of history and culture, transporting viewers to early 20th-century India. The Hooghly Bridge stands tall over the bustling river, serving as a vital crossing point for both pedestrians and vehicles. Its magnificent structure combines elements of wooden and stone bridges with a touch of British influence from the colonial era. As one gazes at this postcard-like scene, they can almost feel the vibrant energy emanating from Kolkata's busy streets. The photograph not only encapsulates the physical beauty of this architectural marvel but also serves as a window into Indian society during that time. It offers glimpses of daily life in Calcutta - Indians going about their routines amidst a backdrop shaped by British imperialism. With its rich historical significance and cultural symbolism, this image transports us back to an era when Calcutta was known as "the city of joy". It reminds us that bridges are more than mere structures; they connect people and cultures while standing as testaments to human ingenuity. Whether you appreciate photography or have an interest in Indian history, this mesmerizing print will undoubtedly captivate your imagination and transport you to another time and place.
