EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph of Clive Street in Kolkata, India, during the late 19th century. The bustling street, now known as Netaji Subhas Road, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Calcutta, then the capital of British India. Pedestrians dressed in traditional Indian attire and Western-style clothing navigate the cobblestone street, while horse-drawn carts and ornate carriages transport goods and passengers. The architectural landscape is a blend of Eastern and Western influences, with European-style buildings standing proudly alongside traditional Indian structures. The iconic landmark, a symbol of the city's colonial past, is named after the British East India Company's first Governor-General, Robert Clive. The street was the commercial hub of the city, with numerous shops and businesses catering to the British community and the local populace. This photograph, taken in the 1880s, 1890s, or early 1900s, offers a unique glimpse into the urban scenery of Kolkata during an era of significant change. The image invites us to explore the history and culture of this fascinating city, which continues to be an important center of commerce, art, and intellectual pursuits in India and beyond.
