EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "New Market, Kolkata" takes us back to the early 20th century in colonial India. The image, captured by an English photographer, showcases the bustling scene of one of Kolkata's iconic markets. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a blend of British influence and Indian culture. The market is teeming with activity as carts and cars navigate through the crowded streets. It reflects the vibrant energy of a city under imperial rule. The architecture stands tall in all its colonial glory, showcasing a mix of modern and traditional styles. The buildings serve as a reminder of Britain's presence in India during that era. As we delve into this postcard from history, it becomes evident that New Market was not just a place for commerce but also a meeting point for different cultures. Indians go about their daily lives while embracing both their own traditions and those imposed upon them by their colonizers. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an era when Kolkata was known as Calcutta—a time when Sir Stuart Hogg oversaw the transport system amidst an evolving society on the cusp of change. Through this lens, we witness how transportation played an integral role in connecting people within this great empire—bridging gaps between Europe and Asia—and shaping the cultural fabric of both nations involved. With every detail captured by Bridgeman Images' expertise, this print allows us to reflect on our shared past while appreciating how far we have come since then.
