India Postcard: Vintage Shipping on the Hooghly River, Calcutta, Steamships 3597A.


This topographical postcard captures a bustling maritime scene on the Hooghly River in Calcutta (now Kolkata) during the early 20th century. It features several large steamships and local boats anchored in the harbor, highlighting the city's historical importance as a major colonial trade hub. The postcard provides a glimpse into the industrial atmosphere of the British Raj era when the river was the primary gateway for international exploration and commerce.

This is an unused standard size postcard. The postcard has slight crease to the top right hand corner.
