The image, captured from Fort William, transports us to an enchanting time when India was under British colonial rule. The landscape format of this historic print beautifully showcases the architectural marvels that dotted the city's skyline during that period. Magnificent structures stand tall along the riverbank, reflecting both Indian and European influences in their design. The intricate details of these buildings evoke a sense of grandeur and opulence.

From bustling markets to serene ghats where people gather for religious rituals, this image encapsulates life on both sides of the Hoogli River. Preserved meticulously over centuries, this particular print is a testament to its enduring significance. Originally engraved in 1964 from an authentic source dating back even further – 52987260 – it serves as a window into an era long past.
