EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an old city map of Kolkata (Calcutta), India, dating back to 1897. The wood engraving beautifully captures the intricate details of this historic city, providing a glimpse into its rich past. The map highlights key landmarks such as the Hooghly River, which flows gracefully through the heart of Kolkata. This river served as a lifeline for trade and transportation during colonial times, symbolizing the influence of English culture and colonialism in this bustling metropolis. As we explore further, we are reminded of the vibrant Indian culture that thrived amidst these influences. The map reveals a fascinating blend of East Asian traditions with hints of Asean cultural elements from neighboring regions. The harbor and bay depicted on this ancient map remind us of Kolkata's strategic location along the coastline, connecting it to other parts of Asia and even beyond to the Pacific Ocean. With its vertical orientation and exquisite woodcut engraving technique, this print exudes nostalgia for bygone eras. It takes us on a journey back in time to experience firsthand how Kolkata looked in the late 19th century. History enthusiasts will appreciate this antique piece as it encapsulates not just a city's geography but also its heritage and evolution over time. Whether displayed in homes or offices, this unique artwork serves as a reminder of our connection to the past while celebrating Kolkata's enduring charm.
