EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning vintage photograph, taken around the turn of the 20th century, captures the grandeur of Government House in Kolkata, India. Located in the heart of the city, Government House was the official residence of the British Governor-General of India from the late 18th century until India's independence in 1947. The image, part of the extensive Bourne photographic archive, showcases the architectural beauty of the building, which was designed in the Tudor Revival style. The red-brick structure, with its intricate woodwork, tall chimneys, and sprawling lawns, stands proudly against the backdrop of the bustling city of Calcutta. The tranquil countryside and traditional Indian houses in the foreground provide a stark contrast to the urban landscape of the city, highlighting the diverse cultural melting pot that Kolkata was during the British Raj. The photograph captures the essence of the colonial era, with its grandeur, tradition, and the blend of Indian and Western influences. This image is a testament to the rich historical and architectural heritage of Kolkata and India during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
