In nineteenth-century Calcutta, a financially strong Indian elite
emerged under the rule of the British East India Company, building
up eclectic Bengali equivalents of industrialists' mansions,
apparent stylistic blends of traditional Mughal architecture with
more classical elements. Today the erstwhile magnificent villas and
palaces retain only a shred of their former splendor, and it seems
only a matter of time before the last stony reminders of a once
brilliant Bengali upper middle class disappear for good.Under the
guidance of Peter Biaolobrzeski, twenty-one photography students
from the Hochschule für Künste in Bremen captured the fading,
crumbling grandeur of this culturally rich heirloom as part of the
Kolkata Heritage Photo Project. On April 22, 2007, the Süddeutsche
Zeitung wrote, “If Calcutta had the appeal of Havana, its palaces
would long ago have become the subject of various coffee-table
books.” At last, this anticipated, unique book is available now.
