Calcutta of the early 1900s

In "Chander Pahar", our hero Shankar goes to college in Calcutta; the author doesn't mention which. I dug out some old pictures of Calcutta of the early 1900s, which may be of interest. This one is from http://www.flickr.com/photos/39476299@N02/5307501414/ - titled "European Quarter Calcutta 1900's"













Here's another one - "Calcutta India Great Eastern Hotel 1900's Postcard":












Here's one titled "Presidency College, Calcutta, c 1925"









Fascinating stuff!
