EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Calcutta in the early 20th century. The image showcases the majestic General Post-Office, standing tall as a symbol of communication and connectivity in Kolkata, West Bengal. The grand architecture of this iconic building is highlighted by its domed structure, which stands out against the sepia-toned backdrop. As we gaze at the photograph, we are drawn to a serene pond known as Lal Dighi or Red Pool that lies adjacent to the post office. The calm waters beautifully reflect the surrounding landscape, creating a picturesque scene. Calcutta's rich history and geographical features come alive through this monochrome masterpiece. The city's vibrant energy can be felt through its busy streets and squares captured in this snapshot. This print serves as a testament to India's cultural heritage and reminds us of how far communication technology has evolved over time. As we admire this historical artifact from Art Union, Calcutta circa 1900, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its significance in preserving our past for future generations. It serves as a reminder of how important it is to cherish our architectural landmarks and embrace their role in shaping our cities' identities.
