EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Kyd Street, Calcutta, during the late 19th to early 20th century. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their lens has beautifully captured a view of this bustling street in the heart of Calcutta (now Kolkata), India. Kyd Street derived its name from Lt Col Robert Kyd, who served as the Military Secretary to the Government of Bengal and resided here. As we gaze upon this architectural marvel frozen in time, we are transported into an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed these roads and pedestrians strolled along its lanes. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless charm to the scene, emphasizing every intricate detail of the buildings that line both sides of Kyd Street. These structures stand tall with their colonial architecture proudly on display, showcasing a blend of Indian and European influences. As we explore every corner within this frame, it is impossible not to be captivated by the rich history embedded within each brick and stone. This photograph serves as a testament to India's vibrant past while offering us a glimpse into daily life during that period. With its atmospheric allure and nostalgic ambiance, this postcard-worthy print evokes curiosity about what stories unfolded on those very streets all those years ago. It stands as a visual reminder that even amidst progress and change, echoes from our heritage continue to resonate through time.
