EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling bazaar scene in Calcutta, India, during the late 19th century. The image captures a vibrant shopping street in the native quarter of the city, now known as Kolkata. The exact creator of this photograph remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its historical significance. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to a bygone era filled with cultural richness and trade. The monochrome palette enhances the timeless quality of the scene, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. People from all walks of life can be seen navigating through the market stalls and shops that line both sides of the street. The image offers a glimpse into daily life in Hindoostan at that time - a country brimming with energy and diversity. From textiles to spices, it is evident that commerce thrived within these vibrant streets. This particular print was featured in "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago" published by George Newnes Ltd. , London. As we observe this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection today, let us marvel at how much has changed since then while also appreciating how some aspects remain timeless across centuries – like our innate desire for connection through trade and exploration.
