EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving of Calcutta takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history and architectural wonders of this bustling Indian city. The print showcases a remarkable level of detail, allowing us to explore every nook and cranny of Calcutta's vibrant streets. From Wellesley Street to Wellington Square, this image captures the essence of Calcutta's principal squares and iconic landmarks. The grand Town Hall stands tall, exuding an air of authority next to the majestic Supreme Court building. As we follow our gaze down Chitpore Road, we can almost hear the echoes of daily life in this historic part of town. The engraving also highlights some significant institutions that shaped Calcutta's cultural landscape during that era. The Hindoostanee College and Mission Church stand as symbols of education and faith amidst a rapidly evolving society. Meanwhile, the General Hospital serves as a reminder of the city's commitment to healthcare for its residents. As we delve deeper into this intricate artwork, we notice smaller details like Machooleh Bazaar Street and Bow Bazaar Street bustling with activity - merchants selling their wares while locals go about their daily routines. Overall, this print encapsulates not only the physical beauty but also the spirit and diversity found within India's City of Joy. It is truly a testament to both British colonial influence and indigenous culture that have left an indelible mark on Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta).
