EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic Howrah Bridge No. 1, also known as the Old Pontoon Bridge, spanning the Hooghly River in Kolkata, India, circa 1905. The bridge, a marvel of engineering during its time, connected Howrah on the western bank with Kolkata on the eastern bank, facilitating the movement of people and goods between the two bustling cities. The Old Pontoon Bridge, an iconic symbol of Kolkata's rich history, was the first permanent bridge built over the Hooghly River. Constructed primarily of wood and iron, it was a significant improvement over the earlier ferry services that had long been in use. The bridge's construction marked a turning point in the city's development, enabling easier transportation and fostering economic growth. The photograph showcases the bridge in its full glory, with the Hooghly River flowing calmly beneath it, reflecting the sun's rays. The intricate details of the bridge's structure, from the wooden planks to the iron rods, are clearly visible, highlighting the engineering prowess of the time. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of Kolkata and its connection to the Hooghly River. The Old Pontoon Bridge served the city well until it was replaced by the more modern Howrah Bridge in 1943. Today, the site of the Old Pontoon Bridge is a popular tourist attraction, reminding visitors of the city's rich history and its connection to the Hooghly River.
