EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Maliks Ghat in Calcutta, India, circa 1925. The image, originally featured on a collectible cigarette card produced by the Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd, offers a glimpse into the architectural beauty and vibrant atmosphere of this British Raj city. The scene showcases an impressive archway that stands as a testament to the grandeur of British colonial architecture in India. Surrounding it are various buildings that reflect both Indian and Western influences, creating a unique fusion of styles. The people going about their daily lives add depth and liveliness to the landscape, giving us a glimpse into the diverse community that thrived within these walls. Maliks Ghat was not only an architectural feature but also served as an important hub for trade and commerce during this era. Located in West Bengal's capital city Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta), it played a significant role in connecting India with other parts of the world through its bustling port. As we admire this monochrome snapshot from history, we are reminded of India's rich cultural heritage intertwined with its complex colonial past. This photograph serves as a valuable reminder of how different cultures can coexist and influence one another within shared spaces like Maliks Ghat.
