EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of Chowringhee Road, now known as Jawaharlal Nehru Road, in Kolkata (Calcutta), India during the late 19th century. The image showcases a vibrant urban landscape, with hackney carriages lined up in the foreground, their drivers eagerly awaiting passengers. The horses, harnessed and ready, reflect the traditional mode of transportation during this era. In the background, a fleet of ships can be seen anchored in the Hooghly River, their sails furled and masts standing tall against the horizon. The ships symbolize the strong maritime trade connections that Kolkata enjoyed during this period, making it a significant commercial hub in the Indian subcontinent. The architecture of the buildings along the road is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the city. The grand structures, with their intricate designs and colonial influences, exude an air of elegance and sophistication. The tree-lined streets and open spaces add to the scenic beauty of the scene, making it a popular destination for travelers during the 1880s, 1890s, and 1900s. This photograph offers a glimpse into the historic past of Kolkata, a city that has played a pivotal role in India's history.
