EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Kolkata Harbour, formerly known as Calcutta, in India around 1890. The image, captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, showcases a panoramic view over the Hooghly river and the vibrant harbor. The scene is filled with a sense of energy and activity as sailing ships dot the waters, their sails billowing against the wind. Alongside the quayside, people go about their daily routines amidst a backdrop of architectural marvels that define this historic city. Intriguingly contrasting with this urban landscape are elements that remind us of Kolkata's unique character. A cart pulled by an oxen passes through the foreground while a cow leisurely grazes nearby—a reminder of how life intertwines with nature even within such busy surroundings. An elevated perspective allows us to appreciate not only the vastness of this thriving port but also glimpse into everyday life unfolding below. The presence of individuals going about their business adds depth to this snapshot from another era. With its remarkable composition and timeless appeal, this print captures both historical significance and artistic beauty. It serves as a window into Kolkata's rich maritime heritage while inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its fascinating past.
