EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to 19th century India, specifically Calcutta. The print is a reproduction from the renowned Nouvelle Geographie Universelle by Elisee Reclus, offering a glimpse into the rich history and architectural marvels of this bustling city. The scene depicted in the engraving showcases an elevated view of Calcutta's vibrant cityscape during daylight hours. The absence of people allows us to focus on the intricate details of the buildings that line the streets. We can observe their unique architecture, which reflects both colonial influences and indigenous styles. The image also captures the essence of transportation in this era. Carriages traverse through busy streets, showcasing how traffic flowed amidst these grand structures. It provides insight into how life was lived during this period – a time when horse-drawn carriages were a common mode of transport. As we delve deeper into this historical artwork, it becomes evident that it serves as more than just an illustration or painting; it acts as a portal to another time. Through its meticulous detailing and composition, we are transported back to 19th century Calcutta – witnessing its charm and vibrancy firsthand.
