EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of Calcutta in 1925. The image showcases a detailed map, extracted from Lord Curzon of Kedleston's book "British Government in India, Volume One" revealing the intricate layout of this historic city. The focal point of the map is undoubtedly the Old Fort William, standing proudly amidst a sea of existing buildings. This architectural marvel served as a symbol of British imperialism during the British Raj era and played a significant role in shaping Kolkata's history. As we delve into this monochrome masterpiece, it becomes evident that every line and dot on the diagram tells a story. It highlights how Calcutta evolved over time under British rule and provides insight into its trade connections with other parts of Bengal Presidency. Lord Curzon's meticulous documentation allows us to appreciate not only his literary prowess but also his dedication to preserving historical records. Through this print, we catch a glimpse into an era when Britain held sway over vast territories across India. Let this photo transport you back to an age where fortifications like Old Fort William stood tall against the backdrop of colonial power dynamics—a visual reminder that echoes through time about Calcutta's rich heritage and its place within the annals of history.
