EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Government House in Calcutta, a true architectural gem of its time. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is none other than John Edward Sache, believed to be either Prussian or British by origin. Born in Prussia in 1824 and passing away in 1882, Sache's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects shines through in this photograph. Taken around 1881, this albumen silver print transports us back to colonial India when Calcutta was at the heart of British rule. The grandeur and opulence exuded by Government House are evident as it stands tall against the backdrop of bustling Calcutta. Its stately columns and intricate detailing speak volumes about the power and influence held within those walls. The Liszt Collection presents this image with utmost clarity and precision, allowing viewers to appreciate every minute detail captured by Sache's lens. This particular print holds historical significance as it offers a glimpse into an era that shaped not only Calcutta but also India as a whole.
