EDITORS COMMENTS
Off to Calcutta! A captivating photograph that transports us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of adventure and farewell. This remarkable print, taken by an anonymous European photographer, is now part of a private collection. The image portrays the departure of Captain T. Yates Benyon as he embarks on a modern adventure to Calcutta, India. Standing in Piccadilly, surrounded by friends and well-wishers, Captain Benyon prepares for his long journey ahead. The scene exudes historical charm and evokes a sense of heroism. This photograph was originally featured as an illustration in 'Further Heroes of Modern Adventure' written by T. C Bridges and H. Hessell Tiltman in 1936. It beautifully captures the spirit of exploration during that era. As we gaze at this picture, we are reminded of the deep bond between comrades embarking on such journeys together. The cityscape behind them hints at the vibrant Indian culture awaiting their arrival. With its rich history and diverse population, Calcutta beckons with promises of discovery and intrigue. This print serves as a testament to not only the adventurous spirit but also pays homage to those who paved the way for future explorations.
