EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, capturing the essence of Calcutta's Grand Stand Racecourse. The grandstand, standing tall and majestic against a vibrant landscape, symbolizes the rich history of horse racing in what is now Kolkata, India. Established during the colonial period in 1847, The Royal Calcutta Turf Club played a significant role in shaping this sport's legacy. This postcard from D. Macropolo & Co. , known for their hand-colored prints, showcases their expertise in bringing life and vibrancy to historical moments. The image transports us to an era when British Raj ruled over Hindoostan (India), reflecting both the opulence and cultural fusion that characterized this time. The color palette chosen by Macropolo & Co. adds depth and charm to an already breathtaking scene. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost hear the thundering hooves on the track as horses race towards victory. It serves as a reminder of how sports have always been able to unite people across nations and cultures. Preserved through time by The Print Collector at Heritage Images, this piece allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance within the context of British Empire rule in India. A true testament to our shared heritage and love for sportsmanship that transcends borders.
