About the Book
Calcutta 1940–1970: A City Through Time
“A city is more than its streets and buildings; it is the memories it holds, the history it whispers, and the stories waiting to be rediscovered.”
Step into the past through the lens of Jayant Patel, whose black-and-white photographs capture the very soul of Calcutta during a transformative era.
This remarkable collection spans the glory days of Bombay Photo Stores, a once-iconic landmark on Park Street, and offers a rare glimpse into a city teeming with history, culture, and change. As the official photographer of Government House (now Raj Bhavan), Patel meticulously documented political life before and after Partition, preserving moments of history as they unfolded.
His images take us back to a time when Calcutta was the second city of the Empire, revealing its vibrant neighborhoods, bustling streets, and evolving identity. From the corridors of power to the daily life of its people, this collection is more than just photography—it’s a time capsule of an era long past but never forgotten.
