EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling streets of Calcutta in March 1928 with this photo print. The iconic Calcutta Grand Hotel, later known as the Oberoi Grand, takes center stage on Chowringhee Avenue, exuding an air of grandeur and elegance. Its majestic architecture stands tall against the cityscape, a testament to its significance as a landmark. As you delve deeper into the image, your eyes are drawn to Lyon & Lyon gun and rifle makers nestled beneath the hotel's premises. A glimpse into another era, this juxtaposition showcases the diverse range of businesses that thrived side by side in vibrant Calcutta. The scene is brought to life by a horsedrawn carriage gracefully passing by - a reminder of how transportation once relied on these magnificent creatures. The timeless charm captured here transports us back to an era where horse-drawn carriages were commonplace on bustling avenues like Chowringhee. This remarkable photograph was expertly preserved by Topical Press Agency and now finds its place among fine art prints. It offers not only a visual feast but also serves as a historical document showcasing early 20th-century architecture and daily life in Asia's cultural hub. Allow yourself to be transported through time with this stunning print from Fine Art Storehouse – an exquisite addition for any admirer of history or lover of vintage aesthetics.
