EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1870, capturing the grandeur of Fort Church and South Barracks in Calcutta, India. The image showcases a remarkable blend of Indian architecture influenced by British colonialism. The imposing fortification stands tall against the backdrop of a bustling city. Its intricate details are beautifully highlighted in monochrome, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into its construction. The barracks adjacent to it add an air of military significance, reminding us of the British Empire's presence during this time. As we gaze upon this engraving from The Illustrated London News, we are transported to a different era - one where Calcutta was known as "Hindoostan" and served as a vital location within the British Raj. This print serves as a visual testament to both India's rich history and its complex relationship with Britain. The unknown creator has masterfully captured not only these architectural marvels but also the essence of 19th-century Calcutta itself. It is through prints like these that we can explore and appreciate our shared heritage, gaining insight into how cultures intertwine over time. Whether you have personal ties to India or simply admire historical landmarks, this print is sure to evoke curiosity and spark conversations about our collective past.
