This print takes us back to the early 20th century, showcasing the iconic Howrah Bridge gracefully spanning over the Hooghly River in Calcutta, India. The image captures a moment frozen in time, revealing the bustling cityscape of old Calcutta. The bridge, known as Rabindra Setu today, stands tall and proud against the backdrop of this vibrant metropolis. Its architectural marvel is highlighted by its intricate lattice work and towering pillars that seem to touch the sky. As we gaze upon this postcard-like scene, we are transported to an era where water transport played a significant role in connecting people and goods across this majestic river. Boats dotting the Hooghly River add life to this monochrome landscape while emphasizing its importance as a vital transportation route. This print not only showcases a geographical feature but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation. As we admire this historical gem captured by an unknown creator, it reminds us of Kolkata's rich heritage and West Bengal's cultural significance. It invites us to explore our past through visual storytelling while appreciating how far we have come in terms of technology and communication.
