EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Lower Chitpore Road in Calcutta, circa 1910. Known as Kolkata's oldest road, Chitpur Road is the epitome of a bustling city street. The image captures the essence of early 20th-century India, with its vibrant traffic and diverse modes of transportation. As we gaze at this monochrome scene, we are transported to a bygone era filled with energy and movement. Pedestrians navigate through the crowded lanes while horse-drawn carriages share space with electric trams that glide along the avenue. The sight of these trams adds an element of modernity to an otherwise traditional setting. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Calcutta during this period - a city teeming with life and activity. It serves as a window into the past, allowing us to witness how people went about their daily lives amidst the hustle and bustle. Lower Chitpore Road stands as a testament to Kolkata's rich history and cultural heritage. This print from Heritage Images offers us a glimpse into a time when progress was marked by tram lines rather than skyscrapers. It reminds us that even though cities evolve over time, their essence remains rooted in their streets - where people come together, where stories unfold, and where memories are made.
