EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Old Court House Street in Calcutta, circa 1910. The focal point of this architectural marvel is the magnificent Dead Letter Office, serving as the central sorting office for incoming mail in the city. Its Italianate style stands out, accentuated by a towering 120-foot campanile tower that adds grandeur to the skyline. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn towards Cooke & Kelvey, a prestigious jeweler's shop on the left side of the street. Known for their craftsmanship in jewelry, silverware, and timepieces, their presence adds an air of elegance to this vibrant avenue. A tram gracefully glides down the center of Old Court House Street while horse-drawn vehicles share its path. This snapshot perfectly captures a moment frozen in time when road transport was still dominated by these traditional means. The monochrome aesthetic enhances every detail captured within this frame – from colonial-era buildings lining both sides of the street to shoppers strolling along its lanes. It serves as a reminder of Calcutta's rich history and its role as a hub for communications during that era. With Johnston & Hoffmann behind this remarkable postcard-like image, it becomes evident why such prints have become cherished artifacts today. They allow us to travel back through time and experience firsthand how life unfolded on these historic streets.
