EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Calcutta, India in the 1920s. The image showcases the magnificent Nir Mahal Ghat, a stunning architectural masterpiece that stands tall against the city's skyline. This cigarette card, produced by the Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd as part of their Indian Empire series, captures the essence of British Raj-era India. The grandeur of Nir Mahal Ghat is evident in its intricate design and imposing presence. Its majestic exterior reflects both British influence and traditional Indian craftsmanship. As we gaze at this collectible piece from a bygone era, we are transported to a time when Calcutta was known as Hindoostan and Kolkata was still referred to as Calcutta. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia to this print, allowing us to appreciate every detail with clarity. It serves as a reminder of India's rich history and cultural heritage while also showcasing the beauty of West Bengal's landscape. As we admire this photograph captured by an unknown creator, let it serve as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by colonial rule in India. It reminds us that even though time has moved forward, these architectural marvels continue to stand strong amidst modernization.
