[View of the River Hugli from the Howrah Bridge, looking north, Calcutta.] Photographer: Waddell, Clyde
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
The view appears to have been taken from a vantage point on the Howrah Bridge, looking north along the river bank, with Strand Road in the foreground and Howrah on the far shore. 'Hooghly River and part of Calcutta's east bank. But for this giant stream Calcutta would likely never have been built - and for that matter, many of us would just as soon it hadn't. Nevertheless the river affords many spectacles and has accommodated millions of tons of supplies necessary to the war effort.'
Subjects = river scenes
