The image, part of a private collection, showcases the vibrant and dramatic life in Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta. The engraving captures various scenes that depict the essence of this historic city. From postmen diligently delivering mail to street cleaners going about their duties in traditional attire, every detail reflects the rich cultural tapestry of India. The busy streets are filled with people dressed in Indian attire, showcasing the diversity and vibrancy of Indian culture. The artwork was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on February 20,1858.
