EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Street in Calcutta, state of Western Bengal" takes us back to the bustling cityscape of Calcutta in 1965. The lens captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the vibrant energy and rich cultural tapestry that defines this Indian metropolis. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of its inhabitants, with a focus on the intricate details that make up this urban landscape. A prominent business sign stands tall against an architectural backdrop, serving as a symbol of commerce and communication. It is a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit that thrives within these streets. Amidst the hustle and bustle, an array of vehicles can be seen traversing through the busy roads - automobiles representing progress and mobility. This scene encapsulates both tradition and modernity coexisting harmoniously within one frame. The street itself is adorned with lush vegetation, providing a natural contrast to the man-made structures surrounding it. This vegetal element adds depth to the composition while also highlighting India's deep connection with nature. Within this dynamic setting are portraits of Indians going about their daily routines – men and women from diverse backgrounds who collectively contribute to Calcutta's unique identity. Their presence reminds us of the anthropological significance embedded in every corner of this city; each individual represents not only themselves but also their respective cultures, traditions, and nationalities. Through Folco Quilici's lens, we are transported back in time to witness an era where tradition meets progress on every street corner. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece capturing raw human experiences and as a historical artifact documenting life in one of India's most iconic cities during 1965.
