EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Plan of Fort William and part of the City of Calcutta" from 1925. The creator remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this historical artifact. Featured in Lord Curzon's book "British Government in India, Volume One" published by Cassell and Company Ltd in London, New York, Toronto, and Melbourne. The image transports us back to the British Raj era when colonialism was at its peak. It provides a detailed overview of the city's layout during that time period—a testament to British imperialism in Bengal Presidency. Fort William stands prominently within the plan—an imposing fortification symbolizing British control over Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta). As we observe this monochrome representation, we are reminded of George Nathaniel Curzon—Lord Curzon—who played a significant role as Viceroy during this period. His influence on literature and politics is evident through his literary contributions such as this book. This print serves not only as a visual documentation but also offers insights into trade routes and key locations within Calcutta—the bustling hub for commerce under British rule. Preserved by The Print Collector, it allows us to delve into history while appreciating the architectural beauty depicted within these pages. Let us cherish this glimpse into our past while acknowledging both its cultural significance and historical context.
