EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 20th century in Calcutta, India. The image showcases the magnificent Bengal Secretariat building, a true architectural gem of the British Raj era. Standing tall against the backdrop of a serene landscape, this postcard captures the grandeur and elegance of colonial-era structures. The Bengal Secretariat served as an important administrative center during that time, symbolizing British dominance over Hindoostan. Its imposing presence reflects both power and authority while blending seamlessly with its surroundings. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this remarkable piece of history. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported to a different era when communication relied heavily on postal services. This postcard itself is a testament to that bygone era – an artifact capturing not only the beauty of architecture but also serving as a means for people to connect across vast distances. Although its creator remains unknown, their work has preserved an invaluable glimpse into Kolkata's past under British rule. It reminds us of India's complex history and serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then. Let this print be cherished as it offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our shared heritage and appreciate the rich tapestry that makes up our world today.
