This engraving, titled "Calcutta Cathedral" takes us back to 19th century India, where Christian missionaries embarked on a noble quest to spread their faith. The image showcases the grandeur of Calcutta Cathedral, an architectural marvel that stood as a symbol of Christianity in the bustling city. The print captures the essence of missionary work depicted in Edwin Hodder's book, "Conquests of the Cross". It serves as a visual testament to the dedication and perseverance of these brave individuals who ventured into unknown territories to share their beliefs with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are reminded of the profound impact religion has had on shaping societies across Asia. The presence of Christianity in India is beautifully portrayed through this engraving, highlighting its significance within Indian culture. The intricate details and fine craftsmanship showcased in this print transport us back in time. We can almost hear the echoes of prayers reverberating through Calcutta Cathedral's hallowed halls and feel the devotion emanating from worshippers who sought solace within its walls. "Calcutta Cathedral (engraving)" not only celebrates Christian values but also pays homage to religious diversity found throughout India. This piece invites us to reflect on how different faiths coexist harmoniously within one nation while leaving room for mutual respect and understanding.
