EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and feast your eyes on this image of the city skyline in Calcutta, India, during the late 19th century. The photograph, estimated to have been taken between the 1860s and 1880s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this historic city, now known as Kolkata. During this era, Calcutta was the capital of British India and a major center of the British Empire. The architectural landscape of the city was a fusion of Eastern and Western influences, with grand Victorian-style buildings standing proudly alongside traditional Indian structures. The photo showcases a bustling urban scene, with narrow streets and crowded buildings creating a mosaic of activity. The iconic Howrah Bridge, a landmark of Kolkata, can be seen in the distance, connecting the city with the Howrah railway station. The image is a testament to the vibrant and diverse culture of the city during this period. The streets teemed with merchants, traders, and travelers from all corners of the world, contributing to the rich tapestry of life in Calcutta. As you gaze upon this vintage photograph, you can almost hear the sounds of the bustling streets, the chatter of the crowds, and the clanging of the trains in the distance. It's a window into the past, offering a unique perspective on the history and culture of this fascinating city.
