EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases the iconic Howrah Bridge in Calcutta, India, during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a rare glimpse into India's colonial past. The Howrah Bridge, completed in 1911, was the largest cantilever bridge in the world at the time, spanning the Hooghly River and connecting Howrah on the western bank with Calcutta on the eastern bank. The bridge's impressive engineering feat was a testament to the British Empire's extensive infrastructure development in India. This vintage photograph transports us back in time, with its intriguing details that speak volumes about the era. The bridge's iron structure, illuminated by lanterns, stands majestically against the backdrop of the dark, starry night sky. The calm waters of the Hooghly River reflect the bridge's grandeur, while the faintly visible lights of the surrounding buildings add to the scene's enchanting allure. The photograph also reveals the presence of British influence, with the colonial architecture of the buildings and the British-style uniforms of the men on the bridge. The horse-drawn carts and the people dressed in traditional Indian attire further highlight the cultural fusion that characterized Calcutta during this period. This photograph is an invaluable historical record, offering a captivating glimpse into India's colonial past and the rich cultural heritage that continues to thrive in Kolkata today. The Howrah Bridge remains a symbol of the city's resilience and its enduring connection to its past, making this image a must-have for anyone interested in the history of India and its colonial legacy.
