EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning vintage photograph, captured by Samuel Bourne in the late 19th century, offers a breathtaking view of Calcutta, now known as Kolkata, during the British Raj. The image transports us back in time, as we gaze upon the bustling cityscape with its eclectic blend of architectural styles and cultural influences. In the foreground, we see a row of traditional Indian houses, their ornate facades adorned with intricate carvings and colorful detailing. Further back, the city's administrative buildings and military structures dominate the skyline, their imposing presence a testament to the British colonial rule. The streets below teem with activity, with horse-drawn carriages and vehicles making their way through the labyrinthine network of roads. The photograph is particularly noteworthy for its bird's-eye perspective, providing an aerial view of the city that was not commonly captured during this era. The monochrome palette adds to the timeless quality of the image, allowing us to focus on the intricacies of the architecture and the details of the urban landscape. Despite the absence of people in the photograph, we can imagine the hustle and bustle of daily life that once took place on these very streets. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and heritage of Kolkata, a city that continues to be a melting pot of diverse cultures and traditions.
