EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, showcasing the iconic Bridge over the River Hooghly in Calcutta, India. The image is a remarkable illustration from "Inde Anglaise, Sites et Paysages" published by L Boulanger in Paris. The bridge stands tall and majestic against the backdrop of bustling city life. It serves as a vital transportation link connecting different parts of this vibrant metropolis. The river below, known as Hooghly, flows gracefully with its waters reflecting the timeless beauty of Kolkata. The monochrome tones add a sense of nostalgia and timelessness to this historical snapshot. Every detail captured by unknown creator's lens transports us to an era long gone but not forgotten. Bourne & Shepherd, renowned photographers during that period, have left their mark on this exceptional piece of artistry. Their expertise shines through in every aspect - from composition to lighting - making it evident why they were considered pioneers in Indian photography. As we gaze upon this print collector's treasure today, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage embedded within India's landscapes and landmarks like this magnificent bridge. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering marvels that withstand the test of time. This print is more than just an image; it encapsulates history itself – a window into an enchanting past waiting for us to explore and appreciate its significance in shaping our present-day world.
