Introduction / Einleitung
* Since more than 25 years * I’m maintaing the ‚Old Calcutta‘ Internet Photo exhibition, which is presented here as a 2nd edition. The former location may be closed by time.
Our family carried this set of about 70 photos through the last century, from generation to generation.
My great-grandparents brought it from India to Germany when moving from Calcutta to Hamburg.
The photos include shots from buildings, Statues etc. in the ancient Calcutta and pictures from some excursions (Chumba, Dalhousie).
We assume there may be some other people in the world interested in these pictures and will use this place to present them to public.
The photographer was Mr. Stretton. Does anybody know more about him ?
We found only spare notes, e.g. at: luminous-lint.com.
The content / pictures under these pages may not be published elsewhere or commercially used without written permission from us.
We will try to locate the items in a city map (thanks for any hints) and if possible enhance the old pictures with those of the current situation.
If you are interested in further informations regarding the city
you may look at Wikipedia about Kolkata.
Since the ‚Chamba‘ collection at TrekEarth unfortunately disappeared I found now the Himachal web site with some images from chamba at Himachal Pradesh.
The photos are arrange by several themes as given below.
Pictures on the subpages can be opened by double click.
Some of the picture titles link to further details pages.
