EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View in Calcutta, c1891" takes us back to the vibrant city of Kolkata in British India during the late 19th century. The creator of this mesmerizing aerial view is none other than James Grant, a renowned artist and author. The image showcases the sprawling landscape of Calcutta with its bustling streets and magnificent buildings that reflect the grandeur of colonial architecture. From an elevated perspective, we witness a sea of farmland stretching into the distance, symbolizing the importance of agriculture in sustaining this thriving metropolis. Intriguingly, amidst this picturesque scenery are background people going about their daily lives. Men and women can be seen engaged in various activities - some tending to fields while others navigate through busy streets. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the diverse tapestry of life within British India's cultural melting pot. Grant's illustration captures not only the physical beauty but also provides valuable insights into India's rich history and imperial past. It serves as a visual testament to both colonialism and imperialism that shaped this remarkable continent during that era. This extraordinary piece belongs to Cassell Petter & Galpin's "Cassells Illustrated History of India Vol. I". It stands as a timeless reminder of Kolkata's historical significance and invites viewers on an enchanting journey through time.
