EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Harrison Road in Calcutta, India, circa 1925. The image is part of a collectible cigarette card series produced by the Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd, showcasing iconic landmarks from the Indian Empire. The architectural beauty of this British Raj era city is evident as we gaze upon the grand buildings lining both sides of the road. The monochrome tones add a timeless charm to this snapshot of history. It's fascinating to see how this vibrant street was once filled with life and activity. Located in West Bengal, Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta) has always been an important cultural and commercial hub in India. This photograph captures its essence perfectly - a blend of colonial influence and traditional Indian heritage. As we explore every detail within this frame, it transports us to another time; one where horse-drawn carriages traversed these lanes and pedestrians strolled along its sidewalks. The atmosphere seems electric with energy and anticipation. Preserved by The Print Collector, this image serves as a reminder of our rich past and offers glimpses into an era long gone but not forgotten. It allows us to appreciate the architectural marvels that shaped our cities while also reflecting on the historical significance they hold within our collective memory.
