EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Calcutta, circa 1880. The image showcases a bustling street under construction, with workers and pedestrians going about their daily routines. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of St Andrews Church standing proudly on the corner of Dalhousie Square. The sepia-toned aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and authenticity to this outdoor scene. It transports us to an era where horse-drawn carriages were the primary mode of transportation and streets were filled with activity. The composition beautifully captures the essence of life in Calcutta during this period. The pavement being constructed symbolizes progress and development, while also serving as a reminder that cities are constantly evolving. As we observe this snapshot from history, it's impossible not to marvel at how much has changed over the years. Yet amidst all the transformations, some elements remain constant - like the enduring presence of St Andrews Church, which still stands today as a testament to Calcutta's rich architectural heritage. This print from Hulton Archive allows us to immerse ourselves in a bygone era and appreciate both the beauty and complexity of urban life in late 19th-century Calcutta.
