EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the High Court building in Kolkata (Calcutta), India, taken in the late 19th century. The image, captured on an albumen or collodion print, transports us to the era of the British Raj when Kolkata served as the imperial capital of India. The grand High Court structure, a symbol of British power and authority, stands proudly amidst the bustling urban landscape of the city. Pedestrians dressed in traditional Indian attire and Victorian-era clothing can be seen strolling along the pavement, while horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws navigate the busy streets. The architectural beauty of the High Court building is evident in its intricate details, from the ornate columns to the grand arches and intricate carvings. The High Court building, completed in 1872, was a landmark of the city and played a significant role in the administration of justice during the British colonial rule. The building's historic significance is further highlighted by its continued use as a functional High Court today, making it a must-visit destination for tourists and history enthusiasts alike. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the rich cultural and historical tapestry of Kolkata during the 1880s and 1890s, providing us with a valuable insight into the city's past and its enduring legacy.
