EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the heart of Kolkata, India in 1883, showcases the grandeur of the General Post Office (GPO), a historical landmark that has stood the test of time. The image transports us back to the colonial era, with the imposing neoclassical dome of the GPO dominating the scene. The bustling streets of Calcutta, now known as Kolkata, can be seen in the background, filled with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily business. The General Post Office, a symbol of British colonial rule in India, was designed by Colonel J.F.D. Cockburn and constructed between 1864 and 1874. The architectural masterpiece is a fusion of Italian and Greek influences, with its grand dome, Corinthian columns, and intricate detailing. The GPO served as the main postal hub of Kolkata for over a century, connecting the city to the rest of the world. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Kolkata. The GPO, with its iconic dome, has become a symbol of the city's past and continues to be a popular tourist attraction today. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of the city's storied past and the role it played in shaping the history of India.
