EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Calcutta in the 1920s. Standing tall and proud, we see the iconic Great Eastern Hotel, a historic establishment that has been welcoming guests since its founding in 1840. The grandeur of this magnificent building is evident as it dominates the cityscape with its impressive architecture. The scene captures a moment in time when transportation was still evolving. In the foreground, an electric tram glides along the road, showcasing one of the modern modes of transport available during that era. Surrounding the hotel are other buildings that contribute to Calcutta's unique charm and character. Dalhousie Square serves as a backdrop for this snapshot from history, adding depth to the image with its old-world charm. This location holds significant historical importance as it was once home to important government institutions such as Old Court House Street. As we gaze at this monochrome masterpiece, we can't help but be transported back to a bygone era filled with elegance and sophistication. The print collector responsible for preserving this piece has done an exceptional job capturing not only a physical place but also an essence of time long gone. This photograph is more than just an architectural marvel; it encapsulates India's rich heritage and cultural tapestry within its frame. It reminds us of how cities evolve over time while retaining their timeless beauty and allure.
