EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the solemn and powerful Obelisk erected in memory of the sufferers at the Black Hole of Calcutta. Created by an English School in the 19th century, this engraving depicts a significant historical event that took place in India. The image has been digitally cleaned to enhance its clarity and detail. The obelisk stands tall as a poignant reminder of the tragic incident known as the Black Hole of Calcutta. This dark chapter unfolded within the city walls, leaving an indelible mark on Indian history. The artwork is sourced from Cassells Illustrated History of India by James Grant, published around 1896. In this evocative scene, we witness not only a memorial but also a testament to resilience and remembrance. The black-and-white tones lend an air of gravitas to this depiction, emphasizing both sorrow and reverence for those who suffered. Calcutta's rich cultural heritage is interwoven with stories like these – tales that shape our understanding of Asia's vibrant past. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to reflect upon the shared experiences and struggles faced by Indians during colonial rule. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us remember not only the tragedy it represents but also celebrate how art can preserve history for generations to come.
