Billboards, Calcultta 1945
August 7th, 2008
“A bewildering mass of billboards at the corner of Harrison Street
(Burra Bazar) and Strand Road. One of the oldest sections of Calcutta,
at the foot of Howrah Bridge, it is a fine vantage point for
photo-graphing the passing parade of oddly dressed natives and curious
vehicles.”
