EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "No 70 Amerapoora Guardhouse Ooh-nein Gate Capt" transports us back to the bustling streets of Calcutta in 1855. The image, captured by the talented English photographer Linnaeus Tripe, showcases a remarkable architectural structure known as the Guardhouse at the Ooh-nein Gate. The composition is strikingly detailed and beautifully composed. The salted paper print from a waxed paper negative adds an ethereal quality to the scene, enhancing its historical significance. Measuring 25.8 × 34.1 cm (10 3/16 × 13 7/16 in. ), this print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this magnificent gate. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into a different era - one where horse-drawn carriages traversed these very streets and people bustled about their daily lives amidst grand architecture. The Guardhouse stands tall and proud with its elaborate design elements that reflect both Indian and British influences. Linnaeus Tripe's keen eye for capturing architectural beauty shines through in this image. His ability to capture not only structures but also the essence of a place makes him one of history's most celebrated photographers. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a window into India's rich cultural heritage while showcasing Tripe's mastery behind the lens. It is truly a testament to his skill as an artist and his dedication to preserving history through photography.
