EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, showcases the grandeur of St. Paul's Cathedral in Calcutta (now known as Kolkata), India. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural and historical landscape of the city during the British colonial era. St. Paul's Cathedral, established in 1847, is an iconic landmark and architectural marvel of Kolkata. Its Gothic Revival style, inspired by European cathedrals, is evident in the pointed arches, flying buttresses, and intricate stone carvings adorning the exterior. The cathedral's towering spire, reaching over 150 feet high, dominates the urban skyline and serves as a symbol of the city's deep-rooted Christian heritage. The photograph captures the cathedral in its early years, surrounded by a bustling townscape. The narrow streets, lined with traditional Indian houses and shops, offer a stark contrast to the grandeur of the cathedral. Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians can be seen navigating the busy streets, adding to the vibrant energy of the scene. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the complex and intriguing history of Calcutta, a city that has been shaped by various cultural influences throughout the centuries. The image serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and resilience of this historic landmark, which continues to be an essential part of Kolkata's urban fabric and a popular tourist destination for travelers from around the world.
