EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Native Shop in a Calcutta Bazaar" transports us back to the bustling streets of India during the British Raj era. Taken from the collection "India Ancient and Modern" by William Crimea Simpson in 1867, this colour lithograph captures a daily life scene that is both intriguing and evocative. The image showcases a dilapidated yet charming shack nestled within a vibrant Calcutta bazaar. The rustic architecture and traditional lean-to design exude an authentic Indian charm, while the rundown appearance adds character to the scene. A potter can be seen engrossed in his craft, surrounded by an array of beautifully crafted pottery pieces. The street scene surrounding the shop is alive with activity as locals go about their daily routines. The market atmosphere fills the air with energy, drawing visitors to explore its offerings. From huts selling various goods to stalls displaying colorful merchandise, this marketplace truly represents Kolkata's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are transported into another time and place – immersing ourselves in the sights, sounds, and smells of an ancient Indian cityscape. It serves as a reminder of how tradition intertwines with modernity in these bustling bazaars – where history comes alive through every merchant's stall and every passerby's footsteps. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection allows us to appreciate not only India's architectural beauty but also its vibrant street culture that has captivated generations throughout history
