I happened to come across these pictures of this great city as it was in 1930s in this website. The images are a treasure too good to miss and I’m happy to have them here.
The pictures seem to belong to MeriFiles as the respective links will show, though it’s possible they actually belong to some other entity. Be that as it may, my thanks goes to whoever that actually owns the pictures.

I have a website on Calcutta and have come across this website about a year and half ago. These are the pics taken by American GI’s posted in Calcutta during the second world war.

Thanks Kaushik for informing the original source of the pictures. Your webpage too is highly informative.
