EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Calcutta Maidan" captures the essence of a bygone era in India. Taken by Samuel Bourne, an English photographer known for his stunning landscape images, this albumen silver print showcases the bustling cityscape of Calcutta in 1867-1868. The photograph transports us to the heart of Calcutta's iconic Maidan, a vast urban park that has been witness to countless historical events and cultural gatherings over the years. The image reveals a panoramic view of the city, with its grand colonial buildings juxtaposed against local architecture and lush greenery. Bourne's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every element captured within the frame. From horse-drawn carriages traversing dusty roads to pedestrians strolling leisurely along pathways, each figure adds life and movement to this frozen moment in time. The use of albumen silver printing technique lends a softness and warmth to the image, enhancing its nostalgic appeal. It invites viewers on a journey back through history, allowing them to immerse themselves in Calcutta's vibrant past. This remarkable piece from Liszt Collection serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document. It reminds us of our shared heritage and offers glimpses into an era long gone but not forgotten.
