EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the founding of a Hindoo Female School in Cornwallis-Square at Calcutta. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the importance of education and cultural exchange during this time. The scene is filled with vibrancy and energy as crowds gather to witness this ceremonial event. The school's construction stands proudly amidst the bustling city of Calcutta, symbolizing progress and enlightenment. Hinduism, deeply rooted in Indian culture, takes center stage as women dressed in traditional attire participate in the celebration. The print provides a glimpse into Kolkata's rich heritage and its commitment to empowering women through education. It serves as a reminder that knowledge knows no boundaries or gender restrictions. This historic occasion marks not only an educational milestone but also represents unity among diverse communities. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece of art from their private collection. As we admire this engraving today, we are reminded of the transformative power of education and how it continues to shape societies around the world.
