OLD CALCUTTA Photo Exhibition
![[Calcutta Photo Exhibition]](calcutta/calcexhi.gif)
On this page I'm currently developing the 'Old Calcutta' Internet Photo exhibition.
Our family carried this set of about 70 photos through the last century, from generation to generation.
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 the first time to public.The photographer was Mr. Stretton. Does anybody know more about him ?
The currently exponated photos are (sorry) of a less good quality because of two reasons:
They are scanned from copies of the originals. These copies are 'photo from photo' and smaller than the originals. But we want to keep this public part in this quality as we currently want to keep all rights on the originals.
So these pictures may not be published without written permission from us.Here we will have some 'Pictures at Exhibition' changing from time to time (due to limited server space). So please be patient and look around. Further on 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.
