EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print titled "Shipping at Calcutta" takes us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history of this bustling Indian city. The image, captured by an English photographer, showcases the vibrant port and harbour of Calcutta. The scene is filled with activity as ships of various sizes navigate through the waters, carrying goods from all corners of the British Empire. This photograph was originally featured in a book called "Glimpses of the British Empire" published around 1910. The photo provides us with a window into Indian culture during that time period. We see Indians going about their daily lives along the waterfront, adding to the dynamic atmosphere. The diversity and energy of Asian cultures are beautifully represented here. Calcutta itself stands as a symbol of India's historical significance as well as its role within Asia. Its strategic location made it a vital hub for trade and commerce throughout centuries. This stunning print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of India's deep-rooted connections to global trade networks. It allows us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity found within this historic cityscape.
