EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1850s, capturing the majestic Outram Institute in Calcutta. Created by Captain R. B. Hill, a renowned photographer of his time, this albumen silver print showcases the grandeur of British India during the height of its empire. The Outram Institute stands tall against the Kolkata skyline, its exterior reflecting an architectural blend of British influence and Indian craftsmanship. Named after Sir James Outram, a distinguished military officer known for his contributions to the British Raj, this building symbolizes both imperialism and cultural exchange. As we gaze at this image preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are transported to a bygone era when Calcutta was at the heart of British India's administrative power. The landscape surrounding the institute is serene yet bustling with activity—a testament to the city's vibrant history. Captain R. B. Hill skillfully captures every detail in this photograph—the intricate carvings on the building facade, shadows cast by sunlight filtering through trees, and people going about their daily lives outside its walls. This print serves as a valuable historical artifact that allows us to reflect upon Britain's colonial past while appreciating Calcutta's rich heritage. It reminds us of how photography can immortalize moments in time and preserve them for future generations to explore and learn from.
