EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, captured in the late 19th century, offers a breathtaking view of Calcutta (now Kolkata), India from the High Court. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the rich history and cultural heritage of this iconic city. The scene is set by the tranquil Hooghly River, its gentle waves lapping against the rocky shore. In the foreground, a sandy beach dotted with trees stretches out, providing a serene contrast to the bustling cityscape beyond. The High Court building, an architectural marvel of the British Raj, stands proudly at the center, its grandeur underscored by the towering clouds in the sky. The cityscape unfolds before us, revealing a mix of traditional and modern structures. Narrow streets lined with quaint residences and trees lead to the heart of the town, where the vibrant markets and bustling streets come alive with activity. The image also showcases the city's rich greenery, with lush forests and parks providing a much-needed respite from the urban landscape. The weather, with its overcast sky and occasional drizzle, adds to the mood of the photograph, transporting us to a bygone era. The image is a testament to the enduring charm of Kolkata, a city that continues to captivate travelers with its unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
