EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Calcutta High Court, taken around 1900. As the oldest High Court in India, it holds a significant place in the country's legal history. Established on July 1st, 1862, under the High Courts Act of 1861, this architectural marvel is located within Fort William in Calcutta. The image captures the exterior of Calcutta High Court against a backdrop that includes water and reflections. The sepia tones add a nostalgic charm to this monochrome photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. The neo-gothic style of architecture is evident in its intricate details and towering presence. The black and white composition beautifully highlights the gothic revival elements present in this iconic structure. Its majestic facade stands tall as a symbol of justice and law amidst bustling city life. This stunning print transports us back to early 20th century India when British colonial influence was at its peak. It serves as a visual reminder of Kolkata's rich heritage and cultural legacy. As we admire this postcard-worthy image captured by Art Union from Calcutta, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also acknowledge the role it played in shaping Indian judiciary system throughout history.
