EDITORS COMMENTS
This color print captures the bustling cityscape of Chowringhee, Calcutta in the early 20th century. The view from this vantage point showcases a vibrant and lively scene that truly encapsulates the essence of India's rich culture and history. Transportation plays a prominent role in this image, with various modes of travel dotting the streets. From horse-drawn carriages to rickshaws, it is evident that movement is constant in this thriving metropolis. The roads are filled with traffic, showcasing the busy nature of city life during this era. Amidst the hustle and bustle, lush greenery can be seen throughout the frame. Trees and plants provide a refreshing contrast against the urban landscape, offering pockets of tranquility amidst all the activity. Chowringhee's location adds to its allure - situated in Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta), West Bengal, it has long been regarded as one of India's most iconic neighborhoods. Its historical significance dates back to at least the 19th century when it was an important commercial hub for British colonial rule. The use of color in this print brings vibrancy to every detail captured within its frame. It serves as a visual time capsule transporting viewers back to a bygone era where colorful attire and architectural facades were commonplace. Overall, this remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into an earlier time while also reminding us of how cities like Chowringhee have evolved over centuries yet still retain their unique charm and character today
