EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of South Barrack, Fort William in Calcutta during the late 19th to early 20th century. The military building stands as a testament to the British Empire's presence and colonial rule in what is now known as Kolkata, India. With its stunning architectural design, this fortification served as a symbol of power and control. The hand-coloured postcard showcases the vibrant hues that bring life to this historic structure. Against a backdrop of lush landscapes, South Barrack exudes an air of authority and dominance. Its imposing exterior reflects the strength and might of British Raj. As one gazes upon this image, it transports us back in time to an era when law and order were maintained by police forces stationed within these walls. The unknown creator has skillfully captured every detail, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and historical significance of this landmark. This photograph serves as a reminder of India's colonial past while also highlighting its rich cultural heritage. It invites viewers to ponder upon the complexities surrounding colonialism – its impact on architecture, society, and ultimately shaping modern-day Kolkata.
