EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Temple of Fame at Barrackpore in 1925. The creator remains unknown, but their artistic eye beautifully showcases this architectural marvel. Taken from Lord Curzon of Kedleston's book "British Government in India, Volume Two" published by Cassell and Company Ltd in 1925, this image is a testament to the rich history between Britain and India during the colonial era. The Temple of Fame stands as a symbol of British imperialism and colonialism in India. Located within the cantonment area, it serves as a memorial to commemorate military achievements during the British Raj. Its design draws inspiration from ancient Greek architecture, reminiscent of classical temples found in Greece. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery on a sunny summer day, this monochrome photograph evokes a sense of tranquility and nostalgia. It transports viewers back to an era when Britain held sway over vast territories across the globe. As we admire this remarkable piece of heritage captured by The Print Collector, let us reflect upon the complex dynamics that shaped our world during that time – trade routes established by East India Company, literature inspired by British rule, and cultural exchanges between two nations entwined through history.
