Calcutta - The city and the heritage - Part 1
As Calcutta approached its tercentenary year, Vikas Bhattacharya, celebrated painter was busy working on a difficult but challenging assignment one of the cit's leading newspapers had commissioned him to recreate job charnock landing on the banks of the river Hooghly. 300 years back in 1690 it is charnock the englishman who most historian give credit for founding Calcutta, no visual record of char-knock voyage exists but Vikas put together the arresting interpretetion of the englishman's first visit.
The desicion by this english trader to choose Sutanuti, a small village on the banks of river Hooghly was made after he had rejected a number of other sights. 24h August 1690 the day charnock arrived was gray and overcast and Sutanuti welcomed him with a spate of showers.
No city in the world can ever be attributed to the genius of a single individual yet the seeds of metropolital Calcutta are found in Charnock selection of the Sutanuti village as a trading post the british and the impetus this decision provided.

OLD Kolkata City Tour Within 2 Minutes 2017 | Kolkata City of Joy
For some of us, Calcutta isn't a city. It's a way of life. The city's lean, grimy skyscrapers jostle for space with majestic, colonial architecture. Tracks for trams crisscross the rain-washed roads and the pavements are the domain of small-scale businesses flourishing just as well as the swarms of mosquitoes that hover over people's heads as they take an evening stroll by the lake.
Kolkata, then Calcutta, was the capital of India's British empire until 1911 before the capital was relocated to Delhi. The lugubrious Hooghly bear silent testimony to India's violent struggle for freedom, seeded in this city. This is the city of Rabindranath Tagore, Swami Vivekananda, Subhas Chandra Bose and Satyajit Ray.
The Writers' Building - built between 1776 and 1780 to house junior officers or 'writers' of the East India Company was designed by Thomas Lyon. The British aimed at making Calcutta the nerve centre of their growing empire. Here are 30 stunning images of old Calcutta that you will simply love.

Bourne & Shepherd Heritage Building Kolkata
Bourne & Shepherd was an Indian photographic studio and one of the oldest established photographic businesses in the world. Established in 1863, at its peak, it was the most successful commercial firm in 19th-and early 20th-century India, with agencies all over India, and outlets in London and Paris, and also ran a mail order service. A devastating fire in 1991 destroyed much of the studio's photographic archive and resulted in a severe financial loss to the firm. The long-term impact of the fire, legal difficulties with the Indian government, which owned the studio building, and the increasing dominance of digital technology, finally forced the studio's closure in June 2016. At its closure, the studio had operated continuously for 176 years.
Though some sources consider its inception to be 1862, when noted British photographers, Charles Shepherd established a photographic studio, with Arthur Robertson, called 'Shepherd & Robertson' in Agra, which later moved to Shimla and eventually became the part of ‘Howard, Bourne & Shepherd’, set up by Samuel
Bourne, Charles Shepherd, along with William Howard, first established in Shimla around 1863, Howard's studio in Kolkata dates back to 1840, where it is still operational today, at Esplanade Row, in Esplanade, Kolkata (Calcutta) under the same name. Today some of their earlier work is preserved at Cambridge University Library, the National Portrait Gallery, London, the National Geographic Society's Image Collection and the Smithsonian Institution.
Samuel Bourne came to India in 1863, and set up a partnership with an established Calcutta photographer, William Howard, and they set up a new studio 'Howard & Bourne' at Shimla. William Howard had set up the Calcutta studio in 1840. Meanwhile, Charles Shepherd, had already established a photographic studio, with Arthur Robertson, called 'Shepherd & Robertson' in Agra in 1862, and subsequently he too moved to Shimla in 1864. At some point Robertson left the business and Charles Shepherd, joined Bourne company to form 'Howard, Bourne & Shepherd'. In 1863, he made first of three major Himalayan photographic expeditions, followed by another one 1866, prior to which he took an expedition to Kashmir in 1864, in fact all photographic histories of that era carry his works. He was known to travel heavy, as he moved with a large retinue of 42 coolies carried his cameras, darkroom tent and chests of chemicals and glass plates, he was to become one of India's greatest photographers of that era. Charles on the other hand became known as a master printer, he stayed back in Shimla and managed the commercial distribution and printing aspects of the business. Through the 1860s, Bourne's work was exhibited in public exhibition in Europe and was also part of the Paris Universal Exposition in 1867. He also wrote several despatches for 'The British Journal of Photography between' 1863–1870, and the company became an avid provider of the Indian landscape views to the common visitors to the country and also to Britishers back home, and not just survived but the thrived in an era of fierce competition between commercial photographers.
in the 1930s, later after a major business slump following the independence, and exodus of European community and the end of princely states, he held an auction in 1955, in which it was bought over by its present owners, and today the building itself is a heritage property.
