EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Clive Street, Calcutta in 1905. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but it offers a fascinating glimpse into the architectural landscape of colonial India. Clive Street, named after Robert Clive, the renowned British military officer who played a significant role in ending the siege on the Old Fort in 1757, is believed to have been his residence. This historic street showcases an array of majestic buildings that reflect both Indian and European influences. The monochrome composition beautifully captures the essence of this vibrant avenue. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel ourselves transported to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these very lanes. The photograph's clarity allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of these structures that once stood tall amidst Calcutta's evolving cityscape. It serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage embedded within each brick and archway. Today known as Kolkata, this city has undergone immense transformation since 1905. However, through images like these preserved by The Print Collector (not affiliated with any commercial use), we are reminded of its past glory and significance in shaping India's colonial narrative. This postcard from another era invites us to explore not only Clive Street but also our own curiosity about historical architecture and its impact on society.
