EDITORS COMMENTS
[Tollys Nullah, Calcutta], 1850s. A captivating glimpse into the vibrant city of Calcutta during the height of British imperialism in India. This remarkable albumen silver print, captured by Captain R. B. Hill, transports us back to a bygone era. The image showcases Tollys Nullah, a significant geographical feature that played a crucial role in shaping the landscape of this bustling metropolis. The photograph beautifully captures the architectural splendor of British-built houses lining the banks of River Hooghly, with their distinctive thatched roofs adding an element of rustic charm. As we delve into this visual time capsule, we are reminded of the grandeur and power wielded by Britain as part of its vast empire. The buildings stand tall as symbols of colonial authority and dominance over British India. This photograph not only serves as a historical document but also highlights Captain R. B Hill's exceptional skill in capturing the essence and beauty of his surroundings through photography. His keen eye for detail is evident in every aspect – from the composition to lighting – creating a truly mesmerizing scene. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this print allows us to reflect on both the rich heritage and complex legacy left behind by British rule in India.
