1887 21st Hooghly Jubilee Peninsular
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the majestic Jubilee Bridge, a historic architectural marvel spanning the Hooghly River in Hooghly, India. Opened on the 21st of February, 1887, by the then Viceroy of India, Lord Dufferin, the Jubilee Bridge marked the 50th year anniversary of Queen Victoria's reign. An engineering feat of the East Indian Peninsular Railway, this bridge was a testament to the British colonial influence in India during the Victorian era. The bridge's intricate design, with its elegant arches and robust construction, is a sight to behold. The Hooghly River, with its gentle flow and shimmering surface, adds to the serene beauty of the scene. The bridge's sturdy pillars, standing tall against the backdrop of lush greenery, exude a sense of strength and resilience. The Jubilee Bridge was not just a symbol of British engineering prowess but also a vital connection between the eastern and western parts of India. It facilitated the movement of goods, people, and ideas, contributing significantly to the economic and social development of the region. This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into India's rich history and the colonial past. It is a reminder of the architectural grandeur and engineering feats that continue to inspire awe and admiration. The Jubilee Bridge remains an enduring symbol of the past, a testament to the ingenuity and vision of the people who built it, and a source of pride for the people of Hooghly and India.
