EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the breathtaking view of the Hooghly River in Calcutta, now known as Kolkata, India, during the 19th century. The image showcases the grandeur of the bridge that spans the river, connecting the bustling city on its eastern bank with the tranquil suburbs on the western side. The bridge, with its intricate architecture and sturdy construction, stands as a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and historical heritage of Kolkata, a city that has been a melting pot of various influences since the British colonial era. The river, with its calm and serene waters, reflects the traditional residences and urban structures lining its banks. The streets and roads leading to the bridge are filled with a vibrant mix of traffic, from horse-drawn carts to bicycles and rickshaws. The bridge not only served as a vital transportation link but also as a symbol of connectivity, bringing people and communities closer. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, where the urban and the natural coexisted in harmony. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the history and culture of Kolkata, a city that continues to enchant and inspire visitors from around the world.
