EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Kolkata - The Esplanade' dates back to circa 1840, offering a glimpse into the rich historical past of Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta, in India. The image portrays a grand and imposing Esplanade, a prominent landmark of the British colonial era. The Esplanade, an open parade ground, was a symbol of British power and authority, where soldiers would march in formation, showcasing their strength and discipline. In this image, we see a group of British soldiers, dressed in their full regalia, marching past the Cannon Gate, a grand entrance to the Esplanade. The gateway, with its intricate architectural details, stands tall and proud, reflecting the grandeur and opulence of the British colonial rule. The soldiers, with their stern expressions and disciplined posture, exude a sense of order and control, while the cannon, placed at the entrance, serves as a reminder of the military might of the British Empire. The Esplanade, with its grand architecture and military presence, was a potent symbol of British power and dominance in Kolkata. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur, power, and history. The Esplanade, with its imposing structures and military marches, continues to be an iconic landmark in Kolkata, attracting tourists and history buffs alike, who are drawn to its rich and intriguing past.
