EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white lantern slide captures the charm of Chourangie Gate in Calcutta, India during the late 1890s. The image showcases a well-manicured lawn leading up to a grand, rectangular building adorned with awnings on the windows. The trees outside, lush and green, add to the serene beauty of the scene. Chourangie Gate was a prominent landmark in Calcutta, a city that was then the capital of British India. The British East India Company had established its rule over India in the early 17th century, and Calcutta became the administrative hub of their operations. The city was known for its grand colonial architecture, which reflected the opulence and power of the British Raj. The building in the photograph could be one of the many mansions or official residences that dotted the landscape of Calcutta. The awnings on the windows were a common feature in colonial architecture, providing shade from the scorching Indian sun. The trees outside add a touch of greenery to the scene, making it a picturesque location. The 1890s were a significant period in India's history, marked by the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and the subsequent consolidation of British rule. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the colonial era and the architectural grandeur of Calcutta during that time. This photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, which comprises over 10,000 glass lantern slides, dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The collection offers a unique perspective on history, providing visual records of various places and events from around the world.
