Black-and-white night photograph of a long illuminated colonnaded building reflected in water, with strings of lights along the shore.

Writers' Buildings, Dalhousie Square, Calcutta, India: illuminated at night. Photograph, 1906.

A long, multi-storey colonnaded building glows with rows of lights against a black night sky, its reflection shimmering across still water in the foreground. Strings of bulbs trace the waterfront edge, and a bright central lamp marks the façade's midpoint. The black-and-white photograph is a night exposure.

Un largo edificio de varios pisos con columnatas brilla con hileras de luces contra un cielo nocturno negro, y su reflejo se extiende sobre el agua quieta en primer plano. Cadenas de bombillas marcan la orilla, y una lámpara central brillante señala el centro de la fachada. La fotografía en blanco y negro es una exposición nocturna.
