EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the iconic Writers Building in Calcutta, India. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the architectural beauty that once graced this bustling city. The building stands tall against a clear sky, its intricate details and majestic columns commanding attention. The Writers Building holds significant historical importance as it served as the secretariat for the British government during colonial rule. This photograph is part of a private collection and was featured in C. B. Burrows' book "Glimpses of India" published in 1895. The monochrome tones add a timeless charm to this image, allowing us to appreciate every fine detail captured by the skilled photographer. It transports us back to an era when Calcutta was known as one of Asia's most vibrant cities. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of Indian culture and its rich heritage. The presence of Indians going about their daily lives near the building adds depth and authenticity to this snapshot from history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry for us to admire today. It serves as a reminder not only of Calcutta's past glory but also celebrates photography's ability to capture moments frozen in time forever.
