Introduction
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So these pictures may not be published without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.
