EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking panoramic view of Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta, captures the city's unique character and rich history from a bird's eye perspective. Taken in 1883 from the roof of a museum in the north-western part of the city, the photograph offers an unobstructed view of the urban landscape. The image showcases a vibrant mix of architectural styles, from the grand Victorian mansions and colonial buildings to the traditional Indian houses with red-tiled roofs. The rooftops of the city, dotted with chimneys and antennas, add an intriguing layer to the skyline. The Hooghly River, with its bustling port and shipping activities, can be seen winding its way through the city. The photograph also reveals the lush greenery of the Maidan, a large open space in the heart of Kolkata, providing a much-needed respite from the urban sprawl. With its rich history, diverse culture, and architectural heritage, this panoramic view of Kolkata from the museum roof is a testament to the city's enduring charm and allure.
