EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling activity of shipping in the Hooghly River, Calcutta. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into India's rich maritime history. The image showcases numerous ships navigating through the river, their sails billowing against a cloudy sky. The Hooghly River was a vital lifeline for trade and commerce in Calcutta during this era. It served as a gateway to connect India with various parts of Asia and beyond. This photo encapsulates the vibrant energy of this bustling port city, with boats of different sizes and shapes dotting the waterway. The monochromatic tones add depth and character to the scene, highlighting both the architectural beauty of Calcutta's waterfront buildings and its busy harbor filled with Indian sailors going about their daily tasks. The presence of these individuals adds a human element to an otherwise industrial landscape. This evocative image is part of a private collection but was originally featured in "Glimpses of India" by C. B Burrows in 1895. It serves as a visual testament to India's rich cultural heritage while also showcasing its significant role as an important trading hub throughout history. Overall, this photograph transports viewers back in time, allowing them to witness firsthand the dynamic atmosphere that once thrived along the banks of Hooghly River in Calcutta.
