EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the first floor plan of Government House Calcutta in 1925. The creator remains unknown, but this architectural masterpiece is a testament to British colonialism in India during the early 20th century. The image showcases the intricate details of this grand mansion, which served as the official residence for British governors-general in Bengal Presidency. Lord Curzon of Kedleston, who authored "British Government in India" included this plan in his book published by Cassell and Company Ltd. The floor plan reveals the layout and design of Government House Calcutta, showcasing its majestic rooms and corridors. It provides insight into how power was structured within these colonial spaces, reflecting both imperial authority and opulence. As we examine this historical artifact, it's impossible not to reflect on the complex dynamics between Britain and India during that time period. This print serves as a reminder of imperialism's lasting impact on architecture, literature, and governance. Preserved through monochrome imagery from The Print Collector collection, this photograph invites us to delve into an era defined by political dominance while appreciating its artistic value. It allows us to explore George Nathaniel Curzon's legacy as well as ponder upon the broader implications of colonial rule.
