EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the grandeur of Calcutta in 1902. The Grand Hotel, a magnificent architectural marvel, stands tall against the landscape of bustling Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta. Its intricate design and imposing presence make it an iconic landmark of West Bengal, India. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, our attention is drawn to one particular shop nestled within the hotel's arcade - Lyon & Lyon, gun and rifle makers. This postcard captures a moment frozen in time when armaments were not only tools for protection but also symbols of craftsmanship. The image evokes curiosity about Clifton & Co. , the unknown creators behind this masterpiece. Their skillful composition transports us to an era where occupation and profession were intertwined with artistry and dedication. Through this monochrome lens, we witness shoppers strolling outside the Grand Hotel's shopping arcade - a vibrant hub where locals would gather to explore various shops offering their wares. Lyon & Lyon's presence adds another layer of intrigue as they catered to those seeking quality firearms amidst their retail therapy. Preserved by The Print Collector for generations to come, this photograph serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence. It invites us on a journey through time while reminding us that even in early 20th-century India, commerce thrived alongside beauty and innovation.
