EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century vintage photograph, titled 'Open Bridge, Hooghly River, Calcutta,' is an exquisite example of the rich history and cultural heritage of India during the British colonial era. The image, captured by renowned photographers Bourne and Shepherd around the 1870s, showcases the Hooghly River in Calcutta, then the capital of British India. The open bridge in the foreground allows shipping to pass through, making it an essential hub for transportation and commerce. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the architectural grandeur of the era. The intricate design of the bridge, with its arches and elegant pillars, stands as a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The image also showcases the traditional attire of the men and women, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The photograph is believed to have been taken during the late Victorian era, a time when India was under British rule. The presence of soldiers in the background, dressed in their full regalia, underscores the military might of the British Empire. The image also captures the serene beauty of the river, with its tranquil waters reflecting the sky above. The photograph was likely taken using the wet collodion or albumen process, popular during the 1850s to the early 1900s. The resulting image is of exceptional quality, with fine details and a rich tonality that bring the scene to life. This photograph is an invaluable addition to any collection of Asian or Indian history, offering a unique perspective into the past and the cultural exchange between the East and the West during the colonial era.
