EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken in the late 19th century, depicts a bustling bathing ghat on the Hooghly River in Calcutta, India. The Hooghly River, a major tributary that flows into the Bay of Bengal, has been an integral part of the city's cultural and historical landscape since its inception. In this image, we see a grand architectural backdrop of colonial buildings and docks lining the riverbank, with a busy wharf and boats moored at the dock. The bathing ghat, a popular gathering place for locals, is teeming with activity. Men and women, dressed in ethnic attire, are seen taking a dip in the river, while others are engaged in various activities such as washing clothes and socializing. A man is seen sitting on the steps of the ghat, deep in thought, while a woman, dressed in a saree, is seen standing near the water's edge, watching the scene unfold. The photograph, taken using the albumen or collodion process, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Calcutta during the 1860s to 1890s. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and diverse population of the city, which was a melting pot of various ethnicities and communities. The photograph also provides a unique perspective of the urban landscape of Calcutta during the colonial era, with its grand architecture, bustling harbor, and vibrant street life. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection of vintage images of India, and is a must-have for anyone interested in the history and culture of Calcutta and the Hooghly River.
