EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 19th century, capturing the elegance and grandeur of the Drawing Room in Government House, Calcutta. The image was taken by an English photographer whose name remains unknown but left a lasting legacy through this remarkable piece. The opulence of the room is evident as we gaze upon its beautifully adorned walls and exquisite furnishings. Every detail tells a story of colonial India, with its rich cultural heritage blending seamlessly with British influence. This photograph serves as a window into a time when Calcutta was at the heart of British rule in India. The drawing room itself exudes sophistication and refinement, reflecting both Indian and Western aesthetics. It is easy to imagine distinguished guests engaging in lively conversations while surrounded by such splendor. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone, yet still preserved within these walls. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes clear that it is more than just an artistic representation; it holds historical significance too. It was featured in C. B Burrows' book "Glimpses of India" published in 1895, offering readers a glimpse into life during that period. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the beauty captured within its frame but also provides insight into Indian culture and history during colonial times.
