EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph, titled "INDIA: STRAND ROAD" takes us back to the late 19th century in Calcutta. The image showcases a dirt road known as Strand Road, which gracefully runs parallel to the majestic River Hooghly. The scene exudes an air of tranquility and timelessness. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians coexist harmoniously on the dusty path. The architecture lining the road reflects both Indian and Western influences, hinting at India's ongoing process of westernization during that period. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of South Asian life at the turn of the century. The sepia tones lend a nostalgic feel to this remarkable piece of art, evoking emotions and memories long forgotten. As we immerse ourselves in this visual masterpiece, it becomes evident that every element within the frame tells a story - from the worn-out cobblestones beneath our feet to the distant river flowing with grace. This photograph serves as a portal into India's rich cultural heritage and reminds us of its deep connection with nature. "INDIA: STRAND ROAD" is not just an image frozen in time; it is an invitation for contemplation and reflection on how much has changed since then while also appreciating what remains unchanged amidst progress and modernity
