EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1907, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of the High Court in Calcutta (now Kolkata), Bengal, India. The neo-Gothic architecture of this magnificent building, designed by Walter Granville and inspired by Belgium's Cloth Hall in Ypres, is truly awe-inspiring. Standing tall against the sky, it showcases intricate details and soaring spires that transport us to another era. In the foreground of this historic scene stands a statue honoring Lord William Cavendish Bentinck, Governor-General of India from 1828 to 1835. His presence adds an air of authority and reminds us of the British Raj that once ruled over this land. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless beauty captured in this image. It allows us to appreciate every architectural detail while evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. As we gaze at this postcard-like view, we are reminded not only of the rich history embedded within these walls but also its significance as a symbol of justice and law. This photograph serves as a testament to both colonial influence and local heritage that shaped Calcutta's landscape during that time. Thanks to The Print Collector for preserving such historical gems like this one - they offer us an opportunity to connect with our past and appreciate the artistry behind these architectural marvels.
