EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1890s, offers a breathtaking aerial view of The Maidan in Calcutta (now known as Kolkata), India. The image transports us back in time, providing a window into the rich history of this iconic urban space. The Maidan, a large open park in the heart of Kolkata, has been a beloved landmark for over two centuries. In this photograph, we can see the expansive, lush green expanse dotted with winding paths and roads, creating a labyrinth of sorts for visitors to explore. The serene water body in the foreground adds to the tranquil ambiance, while the towering column in the distance stands as a testament to the city's colonial past. The roads and pathways crisscrossing The Maidan serve as a reminder of the bustling city life that surrounds this oasis of calm. The British Raj, which ruled India from 1858 to 1947, left an indelible mark on Kolkata, and this photograph captures the unique blend of the old and the new during that era. The Maidan has been a hub for various cultural, social, and recreational activities throughout its history. From military parades and horse races to picnics and leisurely strolls, the space has been a cherished part of Kolkata's identity. This photograph encapsulates the essence of The Maidan, inviting us to imagine the stories and memories that have unfolded on its expansive grounds over the decades.
