EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the vibrant streets of Calcutta, specifically La Rue Clive, in all its colorful glory. Taken by a European photographer in the 19th century, this rare color photo provides a unique glimpse into life during the British colonial era in India. The image showcases the bustling activity of Calcutta's streets, with locals going about their daily routines against a backdrop of grand colonial architecture. The influence of both Indian and British cultures is evident as Indians and Englishmen coexist side by side on La Rue Clive. The composition beautifully highlights the diversity and energy of this cosmopolitan city. From the traditional attire worn by Indian men and women to the unmistakable presence of British colonizers, every element tells a story about Calcutta's rich cultural tapestry. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes clear that it not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as an illustration for Autour Du Monde (L Boulanger), offering readers from around the world a glimpse into distant lands like India. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate how photography can transcend time and space, transporting us back to an era when Calcutta was at once an emblematic symbol of British imperialism and a melting pot of diverse cultures.
